I am silenced by sadness and held captive by the fear that everything will go wrong.....
I wasn't always like this but circumstances demanded I experience pain
But they gave me an overdose and now my mind is comatose
Void of all feeling I crawl through this life of mine on hands and knees
My broken skin letting the blood flow, weakening me even more
And I find I'm addicted.
Addicted to the encompassing emptiness ever present in me because of this.
If I am empty then I am nothing
If I am nothing
Then nothing can go wrong and then what will I have to fear

I was young.
A child.
Barely able to comprehend simple math.
And you told me that I could be anything.
Anything at all.
To pick who I want to be.
I think you wanted me to pick nothing.

I need you to save me from myself, I feel like I'm drowning in the night.
I'm struggling to reach the surface, I'm struggling to see the light as I sink further down in the depths of my own mind. My heart slows down as I reach the bottom, without you I am nothing. Just another body, numb and searching for a quick escape.

oh what a pity
waste of mind
but decent body
brain decayed
but fun to play

      shh, don't talk
shh, don't talk      
      let me see you
let me see you
      

((body parts
never a whole
only parts
broken apart
the thoughts
as worthless as
the dying heart))

shame all those
craveable curves
are wasted on *her

When you leave
I fear I will pluck each strand of hair
From my entire head
And produce so many tears
That I dry up like desert sand
And blow away in the arid breeze.
I am nothing.
Until you come back,
And take the time
To braid the hairs together,
And collect each grain of sand.
Nutella-sticky fingers glue me all into one piece
With squeezey hugs and blanket fort cuddles.
And I'll forget you ever even left.
LDR life.

— The End —
