my arms felt so strong
but the steel against it felt better
has it been that long?
to feel the warmth - that shelter

letting the crimson drip
they say it’s pathetic and dumb
but these little slits
were to prove i’m not numb
sometimes you can feel so empty you try to do horrible things to yourself just so you know you're still human

let me be filled;
by the smoke that creeps your lungs
by the liquid that ruins your liver
by the absence of light
let me be filled;
so that i might be empty

you delete the conversations
you erase the photos
everything that reminds you of him-
you throw away
despite your best efforts,
there is no relief - you can’t.
you can never stop loving him.
love can never be forgotten
