a semi-long angst-fueled poem i wrote
Leave me alone
I just don’t care
Don’t speak to me
I don’t wanna hear

You say you care
You act like you give a shit
I'll slash myself slowly
Its like a drug, its like a hit

Don’t come closer
Don’t come near
Don’t come to me
Don’t come here

I watch the blood
Like a crimson cure
You humans are the desiese
For that i'm sure

Why do you torment me?
With your words, with your tongue
Lie after Lie
For all that I’ve done

So I take this blade
To my wrist
I'll swing back slowly
A razor to skin kiss

Why must you pretend?
Word after word?
"Nobody told me,
Just a little bird"

You keep secrets
So do I
What does it matter?
When we all die?

Yet here I am
Sat alone
Like you gave a damn
When we spoke on the phone

I try not to cry
But here I am
Sat alone
Weak as a lamb

Where’s my protection?
Where’s my friendship?
Where’s my backup?
All I get is your lip

Blood travels slowly
Down my arm
It makes me feel safe
It makes me feel calm

But you had to take that away
Away from me as well
And now i’m alone
On my own to dwell

The knife on my side
Rusted
The razor on my window ledge
Busted

I try to help
And this is what I get
Alot of fake ness
And not another hit

I could sniff that marker
For a light buzz
But I’ll leave it in my pocket
Simply because.

So here I am
What are you going to do?
Nothing that’s what
Because i’m telling you to

I read my own words
And it hurts me alot
To realise this is I
And everything I’ve got
