Drippity Drip Drip

Take me there I don't care Touch my hair Eat this pear!!! I am bare Want to share? Do you care? I am bear I'll let you stare Don't go there By the chair Or on that stair? Your skin is fair You look like Cher Come to my lair But pay my fare Drippity drip drip

Confession

I wouldn’t call what I have depression.
Though I would like to ask this question, 
Is my love for you just an obsession?
Would you call crying everyday an affection,
or is that just an expression.
Here is my confession,
you have a piece of my heart in your possession.

My Pain, Your Suffering

I drown my problems with tears like rain,

And suffocate my sorrows with drugs and pain.

A gray cloud hovers over my world, I am alone,

These lonely streets I will have to roam.

My heart started to weaken as I drown it in this harsh drink,

Lying in this hospital bed unconscious, what people must think.

"It's better this way," echoes off these hollow walls.

As the memories of my childhood began to crumble and fall.

But nothing ever got better it just got worse,

I'm so dehydrated for your love, I crave your thirst.

All I wanted was the fairy tale life society desires,

But instead my life will burn from this hell of fire.

So what will happen  now, where does this life lead?

I slice you with my words and watch your wounds bleed.

I don't want to end it; I'm not back to kill,

Since you walked out that day my life went downhill.

But instead I want to sit and watch you,

As you suffer from the torture I was once put through.

Betrayed

My body began to tremble
As I lie on this cold floor
The echo of my cries, you chose to ignore
Tears begin to stream as the marks start to appear
Grabbing this pill bottle,
I mustn’t live in fear.
You are supposed to shield me, my shelter from the storm
But instead you cripple me as these bruises start to form.
I can’t run from my problem, it will only get worse.
I must swallow these pills before you get to me first.
My breath is getting shallow
My vision begins to fade
These are my last words for you
My love has been betrayed.

Silent Cry

I sit alone in this small room
Tears flowing down my face
I don’t know what to do anymore
Everything is falling out of place
I once was a very happy girl, full of confidence and glee
I don’t know what had happen to the person formally known as me
I am unhappy now the smile has faded away
I don’t live each life like I use to, use to live it day by day
I don’t know what to do with myself anymore
I don’t know how to feel
I wish this was all a dream, that this life I lead isn't real.
But it is and I don’t know what to do 
I wish I had someone to guide me, someone like you.
But no one sees the tears that fall,
I shield it with a mask.
So I will take a healthy dose of the liquid in this flask.
I'll drown the pain and sorrow as I light this joint,
Till everything gets all fuzzy and I don't see the whole point.
I just want everything to be better, I want everything back
I need a friend to hold my hand and guide me through this path.
I don’t want to cry anymore, 
I don’t want to feel sorry for myself.
This is my silent cry,
My silent cry for help.

This Is Me

Glassy eyes
Repeating lies
Heartbeat 
Lips meet
Lonely cry
Tears dry
Feeling safe
Comfort place
Draining tears
Bottled fears
Anger in
Mind spin
Sore pain
Gone insane
Painful rush
Dreams crush
So alone
Mind blown
No one sees
This is me
