Let it be noted,
That the things you use to clean your messes,
Cannot be used to clean the mess in your mind.

Let it be remembered,
That poisons have never worked against poisons,
But then again, neither have the antidotes.

Let it be known,
That being numb for a while,
Doesn't make you invincible.

Let it be written in final print,
That you needn't read between the lines,
If it is repeated several times.

She kisses her scars
Amongst the dark of the night,
For the taste of blood,
Or the taste of self-love?

She drank the tears she cried,
For the drowning sensation,
Or the hope of a better fate?

While she lay empty on the grey-tiled floors that felt like the bottom of a *** bottle,
She only wonders,
Would this change anything?

How many more wounded soldiers before the battle is dead?
How many more tradgic memories need to be burned into innocent minds?

How many more terrible poems before I get a better grasp on humanity?

A new collection of sweaters,
With a million reasons for each
But lies are the only thing covering,
Secrets that have been unreached

It's cruel to hide such tragic horrors,
Under something so pretty and sweet
It's hard to jump on cotton,
When just underneath is concrete

Yeah, I broke a promise
Yes, I let them down
But what they don't seem to get,
Is just how much I drown

I stay up later and later,
The night is my best friend
Because the darkness has no light,
It's a time for me to mend

I kiss my own scars,
They lay upon my soul
But nothing can fix this heart,
'cause it's just a gaping hole

I wrap myself in fear because there's a chance I might never wrap myself in your arms again.

Stab that blade into your skin
While you down a bit more gin
Lets commit another sin
Watch your whole world start to spin

~

Honey, we really need you to wake
This is not the path for you to take
Those friends you have are oh so fake
Please just do this for your sake

~

Her high has reached an all-time low
While all her demons scream at her "No!"
"Who is that girl? I don't know.."
"Just some *****, skanky ***!"

~

And as she stood there by your side
Her only thought was suicide
Oh, the secrets that girl could hide
They could drown a city in a single tide

~

People had filled her mind with hate
By the time they found her, it was all too late
She knew already that this was fate
No longer did she have to wait

Sweet, soulful bliss
Of a soft, tender kiss
Will only last so long
Before it starts to feel so wrong
How can I trust
When there are lies in your lust
And even if I ignore
That it's her you adore
I'll still feel the long
Of your unmeaningful song
And the adventure in your eyes
As I believe all your lies
