my eyes are red from
all the tears i've cried
my wrists are red
but healing with time
the wounds on my heart
are fresh and raw
and that'll probably
be the only part of me
that may not ever heal

Let's live our lives in major chords
And leave behind the thought
Of sour notes and key changes

today i slid up
and fell down
i twisted my ankle
all you did was laugh at me
no one offered to help me up
they just stared and pointed
and laughed
as if it was a game
today i fell
and i wish i could've
become invisible
or just
disappeared

all the times
we wrote letters
and held hands
while eating lunch
in the school cafeteria
all the many times
you said i was your friend
when i'd cry you'd comfort me
now you're not here
and there's no shoulder for my tears
and they fall freely
from my slanted eyes
and moisten my black hair
i'm crying and cannot stop
because you're not here

My skin is cold
your hands are warm
My lungs are black
your heart is gold
My fingers can't stop trembling
your hands can't stop shaking
I'm sorry i'm breaking.
I'm sorry you're done saving.
Don't be sorry,
it's my fault.
I'm drowning,
it wasn't your job to teach me how to swim.
