the first cut is always the deepest*
So I've heard them say
I would have never thought that one day I'd end up here
I would have never thought of my self like this
Struggling not to take a razor to my skin
And tear it apart
Sitting there watching the pretty skin
Disappear into scars and a deathly red fluid
I know one day I will go too far
But I'm so far gone I won't care
The multiple laserations on my writs are painful
But not as painful as what you did to me
But with those few words to tore me down
And took me back to this place
This place I refere to as home
Because I was only gone for a short while
This thing they call addiction is powerful
So powerful I can't stop anymore
I'm sorry
But I'm gone now
I don't like memories
Because the tears come easy
And once again I break
My promise to myself for this day
It's a constant battle
A war between remembering
And forgetting.

Just let the tears
fall free from my eyes.

I'm starting to get tired
of silent cries.

I'm getting sick
of telling lies.

Let the tears fall free from my eyes.

*(n.d.)
While talking to you
You said I made you smile
Made you happy
Made your day

After these months I
Am elated I can
Still make your lips
Shift from their usual form
Tomorrow I promise
I will walk right over to you
I won't get nervous
And avoid what I need to do

I will tap your shoulder
And when you twist around
I will smile large
And I won't make a.sound

I'll let your mouth and eyes
Tell me what I need to know
I'm I'm clinging
On an imaginary string of hope

If I see what I need to see
I will work my way back
Into your heart
And life will be right and on track

Tomorrow I will walk up to you
And this walk will decide
If you're here to stay
Or if you're going to hide
Turn these scars
Into something beautiful
I am tired of staring
At the mess on my wrists

Take my hurt and
Kiss it all better
I bet if you tried you could twist
My scars into pictures and photographs

Cause this mess that I've made
Is a disaster of rage
The price that I've paid
Is too high to trade

And I am lost in the razors
That's I hold so dear
My safety will be
The death of me

And I'm sorry
For only being half of
What I used to be
And I'm sorry
For only being able to
Give what's left of me
And I'm sorry for all the
Mistakes that I've made
The thank you's I've not let free

I'm sorry
For being there
When I'm not
This is another song. Cried while writing it and I cry even harder when I sing it. Three four time, pretty melody and an even prettier piano and cello piece in my head that I can't seem to write.
I'm sorry for glazing over and I'm sorry for pretending. I'm sorry for the cuts and I'm sorry for slicing my heart away.
"You're such a Hipster
You with your poetry
And indie music
And clothing so different"

I use to hate it
When you called me
A hipster
But now I can admit it

I wish you were here
To call me a hipster

Just one more time
