rain.

crying.I remember crying

back on the steps of my front door.Nobody got along and everyone kept fighting.

You came outside and promised me everything would be okay.

Yet here I am, back on the steps, crying.Im sick of this.

bleed.I carved your name into the tree.Cut me up, make me bleed.I will suffer for you.

I will give you peace, and I will give you warmth.Make me bleed, I will suffer.

I no longer feel alone in an empty room.I felt alive.

give.Id be lying if I said I didnt think about you.

I gave and left everything.I let you take it all.

Im dead to you.I miss you. The three words Im used to.

I let you take it all.But Im dead to you.I dont want it back.

Just leave me with some dignity.

hopeless.No longer do I feel alive.The wind is the only thing pushing.My soul is broken.My voice is hoarse from the screaming.Ive given up.I no longer feel the pain.Im hopeless.

fog.Ive been sleeping the pain away.

My thoughts have been clouded for weeks.Its been getting harder to pay attention

to the things that matter most.The suffering is only getting worse.

Im another wasted youth waiting for the end. Draining, Im dead inside.

burn.I heard that your house burned down.I feel so numb it hurts me.I remember the sight when we drove by.The boarded windows.And the ashes of your porch still haunt me.I stood motionless.How could such bad things happenTo such a good soul?

quiver.

numb.I grow cold and my eyes wont shut.Five years and my hands are numb.

Numb like that night.Still freezing; still cold.

I am ready to come home.
