You
And even looking at you
You're stressed and drained
And appear to be half asleep
I still love every inch of you that is and isn't in sight
You're not mine to keep
So I won't even try
But you're still here for me
Every time I feel like dying... and more
And I fear that's enough
To keep these feelings alive
And it scares me because I have got no right
To be bursting into your life
Left and right
*please don't leave me

I want to whisper songs into your skin
Until melodies drip down your back like honey

Messages can be deleted
Memories cannot
Pictures can burn at any fingertips
But I'll remember your face forever

The memories still flow freely
Like a cut that won't stop bleeding
Though you've been gone for years
And to ghosts I'm left pleading

When love was severed at the root
Like a limb discarded
I've since felt dull ache
Perpetually disregarded

Like phantom limb syndrome
This missing extension can be felt still
Though there's nothing there
Naught but the occasional chill

What is it with me
And moving so fast
Jumping from one person
And forgetting the last

How does this thing work
How do I dance
From relationship to crush
Without a second glance

Is it out of fear?
That silly phobia of the dark
Where I don't know what could happen
When the last flame flickers to a spark

This isn't healthy
Nothing is love
And I think I need help
Because this hurts so much

To be searching for pain
In a world with many men
That will help you out
And I've got not enough to gain

From you

One heart breaks
But two eyes cry
A relationship ends
It was nothing but lies

Wait for the pain to end
Then start the process again
With a pretty face
Who'll win this race?

Self-hatred is a pretty strong term
But I'd use it any day
To describe what years of insults have done
They've managed to ruin me
I may be dramatic and I'm okay with that
I need a little flare
To get past all these people with pompous looks
Who have nothing better to do than glare
