The other day I talked to a man
He said that the greatest pain he ever knew Was telling his wife she was beautiful And her not believing him He said he lost his marriage If you need me to believe I’m beautiful I will Because the greatest pain I can conceive Is losing you

Suicide isn't cowardly
People's reaction to depression and suicidal thoughts is cowardly I don't know who I am, I'm just skin and stories like a book If you can read my self harm scars like letters they will tell you stories my mouth still can't tell Your arms look like my legs and I wanna kiss away the pain Take your razor and shatter it for what it let you do There is an undeniable pain that comes with being in love
What if I’m not enough for you You tell me I’m everything to you I don’t believe you We as humans don’t seem to like messes
We don’t like things out of place I was avoided because my heart had fallen to my stomach and shattered Until you, you put your hands through my ribcage and pulled my heart back into it’s place It beats raspily and shudders with every palpitation Now loved it is easier to breathe but the scars don’t go away And you are the glue holding the broken pieces of my heart together And if you leave I’ll be a mess again When you kiss me you place your fingers in the holes in my vintage denim jacket to hold me tighter
Your mouth makes me hungry like I’m stoned Because love, you’re my drug and I’m more addicted than I have ever been to any substance I go through withdrawls when you’re not there Because god help me I’ve never felt like this before Eyes on fire promising an intangible forever Infatuation making you dumb enough to believe it When I know that one of us will break the other and as we are two artists it will be beautiful and tragic |
