The Only Thing I Get To Keep
Its painful to live to even breathe
I want to die but you won’t let me leave
My depression grows deeper pulling me apart
The scars on my arms is so much deeper in my heart
I still remember him on me that day
I asked him why but he had nothing to say
That was not the first time, it happened 8times before
I hate men using me, I can’t take it anymore
No one knows that im going to die
I tell you im all right, what a perfect lie
I feel like crying but I know id get no where
I wish you would leave I hate it when you care
Pain doesn’t hurt when its all you’ve ever felt
My heart is the coldest ice unable to melt
I wanted to say good bye but theres no time
For deaths walls I already climb
I held the knife so close it went so deep
The scar is the only thing I get to keep….
