Why are you back
Why are you back
Looking in the mirror and only seeing disdain
These things begin to taint my brain
Why are you back
Intrusive thoughts of severing skin
Again they begin
Why are you back
Inability to feel joy while surrounded by it
Numbness consuming me bit by bit
Why are you back
I told you to go
I knew you didn't want to; I felt the no
It reverberated through my bone
Leaving me feeling oh so hollow
But now you are back
And I feel everything that I lack
I feel it tenfold
And nothing can hold
Me together again
Sadness begins to pour
Over the edges of my soul
Drowning until I'm left in this blackhole
I'm scared. I'm scarred. My vision's gone black
All from the fear that you might be back.
