reflection
cold floor, presses into my bones
whispering
its time for this color to go
today, i want her back
so into my wounds seep the chemicals
that i used to destroy myself,
hoping you'd see her too
pushing down into me,
this was never how you saw me
not until now
how happy it'd make her to know
that i lost track
but how sad she'd be,
if only she could see
the fight i put up to bring it all back
i can say i'm not really sure what it is
just paint myself a liar
but i always hated those colors
today could be
my darkest day
if so,
i want to spend it in your arms
i want to sit down and let it all out
but each time, there is no spill
just the same old thought,
that today is the day
but it never is
because i can't seem to close my eyes,
so its always too bright
and that's what is beneath
at the core, on the floor
i take the lid off
just to chase
my final break
