We have a strange relationship, truth and I
She never speaks in my presence
I don’t dare look her in the eye,
We exist in each other’s reality
We feed of each other’s pain,
I shame her with my being
Her loss becomes my gain.

Put down the knife,
Untie the noose,
Don't end your life,
This battle you can't lose.

Put down the gun,
Don't take the pills,
Dying isn't fun,
This isn't God's will.

Don't take the fall,
Don't listen to the lies,
Don't lose it all,
Don't say goodbye.

People would miss you,
It's God you should turn to.
I hope this helps someone. I hope the person who needs this sees this. I just hope I can help someone.

Look;

When did relationships
Get defined
By a read receipt?
Will we
Now
Only measure intimacy
By a tweet?

What do we have left,
Why can’t we
Go back
To laughter
In a diner seat

Isn’t it funny,
The happiness we pretend to have
Is the very thing
Holding us back from living.
The emptiness in my eyes,
The truth behind my lies,
The fall before my rise,
And the goodbyes;

It scares me.

The dark beneath my skin,
The light within my sins,
The voice that loudly sings,
And my broken wings;

It scares me.

The wounds I can't heal,
The pain I can't feel,
The loss I can't deal,
And when I am real;

It scares me.

The silence in my little talks,
The stillness in my moonlit walks,
The thought of separate ways,
And my numbered days;

It scares me.

The demons under my bed,
The words spinning in my head,
The blood in my sweat,
And my cold breath;

It scares me.
