For Awhile
You told me you didn't care, my opinion didn't matter.
"You're right", I admitted. *the tears downward splattered*
"I'm hopeless, I'm helpless..."
"You're taking up space!"
"Excuse me excuse me! I can't find my place!"
"There is none," You taunt me, "There's no use for you."
"You're right... now I see it. I'll leave, life's askew!"
I died that day- Oh not really you know.
I'm right here still breathing with heart cold as snow.
It's rock hard, a bit cracked, and might crumble away...
Who knows? I can't feel it... I might go today...
Now don't get it twisted, I can laugh, play, and smile,
Just when I'm alone I feel dead for awhile.
It's said, "Words can't hurt you" and that much is true.
It's the meaning behind them that kills me... and you
