-untitled-

I’m so tired of feeling anything 
Part of me just wants to disappear 
I play sad songs so I can sing
I live alone smothered by fear

I wish my heart wasn’t so fragile
That I found trust easy to hold
A few feet but i’ve traveled a mile
I wish I could be callous and cold

I want everlasting peace
But my head I can’t silence
Nothing comes to cease
Give em while you can; my violets

I am everything I showed you
So take me or leave me
No matter what you do
I’ll wish you’d never leave me

I fall so easily
My anxiety increases
I can’t live peacefully 
Broken down in pieces 

I am what I showed you
A heart used so often
By everyone I grow close to
I’m left vulnerable and softened

Why doesn’t it hurt you like It hurts me
When we’re apart 
Maybe you even feel free
Now you have my heart.
