Unspoken Words

I need you to believe me
My feet are giving out right from underneath me
And my tear fall
Are the unspoken words
For the things I only wish that I herd
Broken poetry written with the sharp end of a knife
And I’m dragging myself on my elbows across these shards of my broken up heart
The pieces few and far between
I’m too scarred up to be anyone’s beauty queen
So as pieces of me will quickly fall
He stands close by
Listening to it all
Collecting up my shatterd heart
Has become his hobby
Catch me
Quick I’m falling
I think I have  fallen
The scars on my wrist 
And my arms razor kissed
Nothing like the gaping wounds in my heart
A cut down my arm
As the blood dances down
I wont whimper, I wont make a sound
I close my eyes
Hearing your voice on the other end
I could only wish
To share just one kiss
To get wrapped up in the moment
Our hearts caught up in this
My words caught in my throat
But my hands are tied behind my back
Ill smile as and pretend
As my heart begins to crack
Like the ice I tread
hold me just a little bit longer
In the moment,
I can feel myself getting stronger
