Why is it I've been feeling this way?
Alone, with everything and everyone surrounding me.
I sink deeper into the black hole that eats me from inside out.
I can't do it anymore.

Wanting to smile,
Afraid to.

Cracking the skin upon my face,
That's bared tumulus weather.
I've pretended with him,
Wanting to put on this great masquerade.

Rupturing from the stabbing of my heart,
I lay bleeding on the floor,
With you watching me.

Empty words come from your mouth,
With my suicidal display.

You want to rescue me,
Save me from myself,
I can't let go.

Pummeling your fists against this wall i’ve built,
You struggle for me to break free.

Cemented behind it,
I cry out with dry tears.
I’m not ready,
To break free.
