Take a look at me.
What do you see?
See these scars?
See the pain?
     Do you know me?
Or just know what you see.
      Because all I ever wanted was you.
But do you hear a word I'm saying?
      See me from the surface just like everyone else.
Please be that one who sees me how I see myself.
       I don't need anything but the extra attention.
I need you to help me fix my imperfection.
       Say you're there for me but there's nothing at all.
       Say you'll catch me but just let me fall.
       Say you want me but roll the dice.
I'll say "Hold that thought and watch me slice."
     A broken mirror.
Shattered glass.
     Just like a mirror shows the outside.
Crimson on glass shows the inside.
     I see the disaster living within.
Blood stained sleeves to cover the skin.
     A broken mirror shows  broken reflection.
Blood stained glass shows  broken rejection.
     To write "I'm sorry" on the glass with blood,
To have the floors red like a flood.
     Reflection shows the blood stained note.
Rejection shows the suicide I wrote.
     Look into the glass I broke,
Inside my world in darkened smoke.
     Just keep looking. See your name?
All carved out in blood I framed.
     Fill the pen with blood from the sink,
Another shot down of the suicide I drink
     Crimson turns to darken the night,
The pen falls with life out of sight.
     Thanks for acting like you were there.
Thanks for pretending like you care.
      You being so heartless.
So careless.
To not even look close enough to save a life.
Heartlessness took a life. It's done
Seeing you was like a hit and run.
You took one  look at me.
What did you see?
You saw the scars,
But turned away.
You saw the pain,
But let me fade.
