For anything
I am there
You need me
You have my care

In no time
I give you my hand
No waiting around
I'll help you stand

But when I'm battling
Stuck in the black
Where are you
Please, come back

I just need a little
Help, I think
Pull me out
Before I sink

But you just say
"I don't know"
But, I know you do
So why so low?

Why won't you please
Please just try
I don't understand
You tear the tie

But...






I think...

I'll ask this crow.
This dark black bird
He'll know

He tells me
All I need
Drains my blood
Does the deed

He's tapped in
To my own head
I put him there
By the brain he is fed

This is what I have
Since you never tried
I brought him out
No longer will he hide

I know
I've made a mistake
gotten my hopes up
hope is so fake

I want it gone or else
it'll hurt so bad
want to **** hope
the hope that I had

but I will always have
it won't leave me alone
it's already taking me apart
if only I had known

you can't stab hope
hope can't be shot down
tried crying till it burns
but hope doesn't drown

no no, you have to wait
what a joke
hope only kills itself
hope will have a stroke

until then, it waits
feasts on your pain
eats you to the bone
sanity it will drain

Walking with you
Through the grass
Just for a few
Before you pass

Though the sun's rays
I said I'd stay strong
Squinting eyes of tears
We only have so long

Would it be better
Not knowing you were to go
But it's too late
I already know

So now we walk
Last moments together
I'll be okay
You can't stay forever

But deep in your eyes
I watch them turn grey
Gripping your hands
As they slip away

Yeah, I'm fine
I will always tell you
Never believe me
It's the only lie that's true

I'm surrounded by light
I try to keep it on
But up in here
It's already off, it's gone

I never knew
It'd be this hard
Every time I'm alone
The wound is etched and scarred

I wish I could tell you
I don't think you know
The rip, it tears
Every time you go

I reach out
I'll go above and beyond
But it only pierces deeper
When you don't respond

But don't worry
No burden to you
This isn't your problem
I just wish you knew

For now, I keep my hands out
I'm capable of keeping control
Arms stretched fingers spread palms up
Waiting to be grabbed, by just one soul

But the longer I wait
The older time grows
I. Keep. Sinking. Down.
Where insanity shows

— The End —
