leave me be
Drowning in a shallow pond
Cries slowly filling the air
Fresh cuts gushing blood
leave me be
As I forget who I am
Embracing the pain
leaning on my own shoulder for support
Just like its always been
i make the last cut
Collapsing on the blood stained tiles
And my eyes go dark
Death was always easier

Cry
I was told to be a man
When I struggled being a teenager
When my dog died, I wanted to cry
But I didn't.
When I got bullied, I wanted to cry
But I didn't.
When I got scammed, I wanted to cry
But I didn't.
When I lost everything, I wanted to cry
But I didn't.
Holding back all this time
Now my smile is a lie
Now all I do is cry
So...If I die...
I wonder who would cry?

when in despair
you were the breath
for which i would come up for air

came closer by the years
but there will be this distance
Stopping me, is this yellow line

wish i could enter the shop
one whiff of the air
and it would encompass my heart
but it's the glass display
only from which i can watch

this is it, i'm at a loss
for this is the line
which i cannot cross

I know you know real pain
I know this will not make you cry
I know in the end, you will not see me

And I will never get to hold you
as the child you never got to be
Nor will I ever really be the goddess  
as a mother I feel destined to become
in your presence
Is this the truth
or just another lie?
You've told me the how
now tell me the why.
I hope it's the truth
but we know
it's another disguise.
I wish I was indifferent,
but i know we are both just trying not to cry.

Hushed apology
silent tongues cry loudly
lies are painful sounds

I’m not sure why I cry
when I should be asleep
It’s dark out and I try to be soothed by rain
But no peace comes to pacify the pain
I’m not sure if you’re the reason why
My heart hurts and my thoughts are too deep
But I overthink more than I should
Over and over
And I’m anxious over events that don’t take place
And I’m desperately longing to see your face
Even though I can’t take a breath or fade away
So many thoughts and yet nothing to say
And as I continue to cry, stuck miles away
With so many thoughts and yet nothing to say.
