i murdered my old self
but the new one isn’t much better
i want to kill every version of myself
living in other people minds
i want to see my blood ruining my arms
again and again
cause i’m so bad at life
i’m sensible like a rose but
they treat me like a thorn
they cut my petals off a long time ago
he dimmed light from the kitchen
i just listen to your voice
quietly
whispering things i don’t want to hear
when i remember you and me
your face shines so much brighter
than in reality
my dreams gained the upper hand
its your voice that calms me
when I’m feeling a storm inside me
and the only thing I can think about is the way I should kill myself
I just need to hear your voice
Today I woke up feeling satisfied
uncertainty isn’t killing me anymore
Yesterday some tears escaped
but I stopped myself
from crying an ocean full
i need to move on
heartbroken and full of GUILT for your actions
you could have been NICE to my fragile person
