The tubes to my lungs are closing
Its like
A noose
Tied around my vocal chords
And inside my blood.
Its suffocating
All the words
And air
From escaping
My heart.

Go ahead and shut the bathroom door
Nobody's around to help you fight this war
You close your eyes as you begin to feel weak
The sting, so painful, bite the inside of your cheek
Let the red water fall out of the veins in your arm
As you lay on the floor covered in self harm

A little after midnight
And a smoky room of music
Star watching
And quiet laughter
You held me
Kept me near
With your breath
And black jacket
Top of the slide
Hiding from the others
Silent whispers
And warm words

I realized that night
That I would always love you

Tears fill up my pores
They have no reason or rhyme
But the flow still goes
