my face feels like leather
my lips, rubber
i guess this is what happens when you cry to much.....
when your true love is hundreds of miles away
and everything around you is falling apart
it just has that effect that leaves your
tears cascading like a waterfall
my scars tell tales
in my arm where a fork was placed by my drunken father
my leg where i was stabbed by a junkie who didnt have my money
my heart where it tears everyday from not being in his arms...
.
.
.
its all so confusing
.
.
.
i just want to snuff the pain
"someday we will have kids together and it will all change"
"i dont think i want to live that long"
i grew up as a fighter,
strong
independent
and now i lay in a bed of tears
i cant fight corruption if im a part of it
the scars on my knuckles from the teeth of my victims prove this
the confusing concept of life pushes me all the further to end it
so in my bed, my hair flipped back
my face shoved into my soaked pillow
i scream
i cry
.
.
.
.
i cry
.
.
you can put that smile on your face
but your eyes
your voice
gives you away
.
.
"promise you wont take your life away"
--------silence
"you know i cant do that"
"do what"
"promise"
"yes, yes you can"
"no no no no"
"yes yes yes yes"
i may be here physically
but the rest of me is dead
