Inside Outside

I’m back here again

In my darkest corners

Fighting the cruelest monsters

And I don’t know

What to do

 

Why can’t they

Take me away

From me?

 

I can’t go on like this

I can’t cry

Even though the tears

Are burning my eyes

So badly

 

And I want

Crimson forgiveness

I want the tears to flow

Be them scarlet

Or clear

 

I simply need relief

 

I don’t just want to be

 

A person you always regret

 

 

Something you must hide

Trying hard to forget

Until your world falls apart

Pretending it’s a lie

I want to scream for

Deep it hurts and

 

Deep down I know that

Really you’d rather

Undo everything

Not admit it

Knowing you’d be ruined

Expecting me

Not to be crushed

 

Since after all

People do it everyday

Leaving me

Empty inside

Not thinking that

Deep down I care

Only thinking of a

Reputation that you

Cherish oh so dearly

And I understand

 

I swear I do

It just hurts

And I’m forced

To return to my corner

Of secrets and lies

To fight off

These evil urges

And try not to nurse

My silver habit

 

And I pray

That you

Are forever

Happy.
