Pain is an abstract
Written
On souls and skin.
Bruises show our tenderness,
Though wounds
May lie within.
Twisted, broken
Flesh will mend.
Hearts yield
Against love's sting.
Beat me.
Bleed me.
Torture me.
I can't feel a thing.

Time;
       is the needle,
       that sews,
       a broken heart,
       together.

You're the kind of addiction
I continue to inject to my vein
without having a single ****
about how I'll be in total pain
when you're done taking what i give
and leaving me nothing to gain

I don't know how to tell you I'm broken
without feeling needy

I don't know how to open up
without feeling judged

I don't know how to cry
when my tears feel like acid

I just need you to see that I'm hurting
without me telling you
because my words are bleeding out
of my mouth, waiting for you
to stitch me up and make me fine
although I know that's not your job

Sometimes I close my eyes
Expecting to escape the darkness inside
Haunted by the melody
The silence of my heartbeat

Where has the light gone
Pain is so numb

No one knows
Always put on a show

Convince myself
I don’t need help
When I drown inside
Alone in my mind

Push all aside
Make it through the night

You’re not alone
But you got to make it known
Don’t run and hide
Let someone stand by your side

Sometimes I just want to lock the door
I want to fall to the floor
Shut my eyes
Where I see no light

Hidden in the darkness
I find myself
I need help

I am the one
To help myself
Escape my mind
Finally break inside

Let all things go
Escape the lies
Believe in myself
I’ll heal with time
