I'm calling on your name tonight
Even though this doesn't seem right.
I still call on you
Because for me, you're all that's true.

I'm calling on your name tonight
And my chest starts to feel tight.
I wouldn't because I couldn't.
I couldn't because I shouldn't.

I'm calling on your name tonight
with the hope that you might
Remember your love for me
Because I'm still far from free.

I'm calling on your name tonight.
When can I feel alright?
Euphoria Aug 2015
I was told to let you go
But I have to let you know
Pain is something I cannot hold
So I tried and tried til my heart got cold.
Euphoria Aug 2015
My chest feels tighter,
With every breathe of pain
When I hear your name.

Ten.
These are the worst kinds of nights. The kind where you're gagging on your own breath that's hitching in your throat. The kind where you open your mouth to speak but you can't get those words out. To say them makes them true.
Nine.
The rain pounds against your window pain and the voice inside your head doesn't stop no matter how hard you cover your ears. You're screaming until you feel your throat bleed but you can't shut off the noise inside you. You can't stop the yelling within.
Eight.
You wonder if anyone ever notices your raspberry painted smile never quite reaches your eyes and you wonder if anyone ever wonders why your sleeves are stained red.
Seven.
Cold. You feel so cold like the wind that rattles your bones and you can't remember what it feels like to sit in the sun.
Six.
Rip the things from the walls. Tear off the bed sheets. Shatter the mirrors and blacken your own eyes. The hurricane that's made its home inside you needs destruction to keep on living, but you don't know ******* it.
Five.
you're falling to your knees and ******* it stop crying. Stop! Don't you dare ask for help. Tears and running down your face and you can't make them quit. Crimson runs down your arms with your hands clasped in prayer, you swear you'll never do it again.
Four.
The only thing left in you for now is the hollow feeling. Your thoughts are whirling around the room gaining turbulence.
Three.
Pick it up, rinse it under cold water, tape it up as best as you can. No one told you when you poured your heart out it might fall to the floor and shatter
Two.
if you smile tomorrow no one will know, and you could be beautiful. Honestly. Maybe someone could love you
One.
your thoughts and feelings come rushing back into your body and soul. something breaks deep within you. your whole heart falling down. Irreversibly damaged in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

"It would be nice to be you"
**** it,
if only you knew,
The damage that was hidden to your view
And what you see isn't all that's true.

The *perfection
you see
Is only a facade set upped by me,
Preventing you to see the agony
The melancholy of wanting to be free.

Do you know how hard it is to pretend you're strong,
Overlooking all the things done wrong,
Trying to always get along,
So you'll have somewhere to belong?

Never put me in a pedestal
Nor treat me like the most special.
Because to be like me is to be mental
*A withering flower with its last petal
No one's perfect, no one will ever be so don't tell me you want to be like me.

damsel in distress
The day you entered my world
You erased every painful things in it
You've made me the happiest girl
We are the author of our own story
Filled with sweets, rainbows, and butterflies

Until one day,
You wanted to erase yourself from my life
I don't think I could ever do that
Because since the first day
You have become my life - *my world
So please come back.

Make good choices
                            
                           ­                  *Tell me how with all these voices?


                 Can you be my saving grace?

                                                        ­  To wipe my mascara- stained face.

                             Blissful and melancholic, I've had my days

           To get through this, you say there are many ways

                                                 But the storm is here to stay.

                         You say, "You'll get through this, come what may."

                I appreciate how much you believe in me,

                                      *But these chains aren't here to set me free.
One melancholic afternoon, I was reminded of how much an old friend believes in me so much.
