I'm Fine, Save Me
It's 1 am and I'm trying to sleep
The stillness of night disturbed by shrieks
Noise that I couldn't stand
Why must I be so quick to cry?
Forgive me again, once more this instance
It's hard to live when things are like this
I want to cry to someone
But I just might be more of a burden
It's hard to keep it in
Trying to put up a façade is tiring
Sometimes I just want to let it all out
Is love truly gone & replaced by anger?
How petty to hear your reasonings
But who am I to judge when I don't know all
I don't want to resent you
But you're giving me reasons to rethink that
I prayed that I might not sin because of it
Should I just keep silent or speak?
Looks like the former is more appealing
But it still breaks my heart I might burst
Sometimes I think what would've happened
If your regrets didn't happen?
Would you truly be happier?
Maybe, maybe not.
Life has a way of interrupting your joys
No wonder others choose death
Worry not, I'm not stupid to do that
But it seems I might've already died inside.
