Broken Promises Become Broken Hearts

You promised you wouldn't leave but
Here we are my wrists are scarred 
And you're far away. Clawing away a
Piece of myself everyday I'm left with
Numbness. Shaking my hands as if I 
Could call you back to me.
Headaches born of tears, maybe I'll try
And get rid of them with a bottle of 
Aspirin.
