Feel me

see me

hear me

that’s all i ask

leave me to be

drenched in my misery

friends with the flask

I know things have gone bad

when all that i have

is a good night's sleep.

I don't have to stay awake

to watch my heart as it breaks

aimlessly.

i try to tell myself nice things

‘cause you told me it was best

but most of the time 

they just feel like lies

i can’t digest

i learned to cry 

but i never persist

time passes me by

purge it all, I insist

leave me to die

the worst of deaths

the one where the physical

never left.
