I cut my hair stopped talking to my friends stopped watching that show stopped going out I acted how you liked And I was silent about the things you didn’t I grew apart from someone I knew for 13 years I stopped eating Stopped sleeping I obsessed with my self of how “it’s so funny” that I waited for your call even when I hung up I got quite I didn’t talk for months I was silent that birthday. Turning into a stranger who lived in my skin Always listening I spent all my silence reading a dozen books about psychology “There must be something wrong with me” From that point on I couldn’t hang onto people any longer I could talk to people but it seemed never “friends” Bearly ‘friendly’ I couldn’t eat once again I couldn’t feel pain It felt like I couldn’t do anything I shattered my self Just to feel ‘anything.’.

Glass Doesnt Shatter Itself
You make me smile when nothing else can. Yet I start to cry at the thought of seeing you. Perhaps because you remind me of what I’ll never have. What I want so desperately but can’t seem to grasp. It’s held just out of reach when you make me laugh, or hug me close. What, you ask, could I want so badly? You.

You
What? What is this? What is this feeling? It tingles, it feels warm; so comfortable. I could snuggle in it forever. Now it used to feel warm. Now it used to be comfortable. It feels cold. Colder than absolute zero. It hurts. Hurts more than a thousand gashes I put on my arm What mysterious pain; yet forlorn.

Feels?
I burnt myself making dinner again. This time it was my arm, not my hand. I want to be better. I have to be better. I know I have to be patient, But it hurts me when I see that sliver Of... whatever it is, in your eyes. Maybe it's disappointment. Maybe it's fear. I know I have to get worse before I get better, But I don't want to lose you.

Helpless pt. 3
I'm not the girl you'd write songs about Or even a poem I'm not the one you'd write home about Or even mention I'm not the girl you'd stay up thinking about Or on the phone with till 2am You're not going to cry over me Or read about me in a book I'm not going to break your heart Cause you'll never fall Not for me at least Cause I'm not the girl
