When a question is asked people expect a response in return,
from having a simple answer to something that makes a head spin.
So why do people just laugh when I question them,
"Did you miss me?"
Any other time I'll get a snappy reply from you,
or some flippant remark that wasn't thought about.
So I have to question you because I can't read your mind,
I need to know the truth and push the limits for a time with
a simple "why?"

Would you miss me if I just up and left without any warning?
Would you even care if I just slipped away?
Would you even notice that I stopped talking,
for but one single day?

Don't you know better than to make the house rock and
leave me wondering that ugly age old question why.
I know you know better than you let on after all,
I did warn you when I got to know you better
I'm not always the most stable person around
specially when I'm within that dangerous question stage.
So why do I get laughter when I am within my self-doubt?
It causes the demons in my head to stir and
rear their ugly heads once more to make me wonder yet again.

Would you miss me if I just up and left without any warning?
Would you even care if I just slipped away?
Would you pay attention to the healing wounds within my mind,
forever there to torment me?

People seem to think how amusing that I would want to know this,
yet I get blamed for not knowing what the hell you seem to think
is so ******* wonderful about myself.
For but a moment I let you in beyond the shell of a thing,
that I've been told is called a body.
Allowing for you to see my insecurities and I can't get
just one lousy explanation to soothe the demons for a time?

Would you miss me if I just up and left without any warning?
Would you even care if I just slipped away?
Would you pay attention to the healing wounds upon my arm,
healing into lifetime scars?

I know that it gets annoying each time I might ask you why,
or even ask you to explain upon something that you let slip by.
Is it so hard to stop your busy life for just a single moment,
just to tell me what you think my worth is to thee?
I try to cry out when I feel so along and lost in this lifetime,
but I've just learned to muffle them,
after all you'll just get annoyed and walk away like every time.
So I'll just slip back into my veggie state of being there,
I'll offer words when you need them and hope that my heart
won't show itself upon the ground.

I know you'll never miss me if I left without a word,
your annoyed and I promise I understand.
Don't feel bad about not having answered those questions,
they weren't important I promise.
When you find this note don't mind the bloodstains upon the edge,
I couldn't wait a lifetime...
Bad time in life, not that bad but I do believe its one of my much better pieces.
