No Words

I have no words to express the pain I feel. I have no words to tell you how broken I am . I have no words. I can't breathe, I can't move. All I can do is lie here in silence while my mind destroys my heart .  While your words tear me apart . The worst part is I can't hate you. I can't blame you for leaving the wreck I call myself. I have no words to express the heart brake I feel . I have no words to tell you how lost I feel . I have no words

Still Trying

I can't stop crying. 
My happiness dying. 
But I keep trying. 
Keep on fighting. 
Fighting the heart brake. 
Fighting the pain. 
Although I know without you it will never be the same.
Still I keep trying. 
My hopes dying. 
But I'm not buying. 
That I'll be okay.
I won't be okay.
Because you're gonen 
That's why I'm sitting here. 
Writing this song.
Still I keep trying.
High spirits dying. 
Oh look I'm crying.
What a surprise. 
Tears streaming from my eyes. 
No more love to give. 
Still I keep trying. 
Even tho.
Inside I'm dying. 
Oh look a cut on my wrist. 
This is my new form of bliss. 
I can't stop this. 
But it's okay.
Maybe I'll finally go away.
I begged you to stay. 
But you went. 
Now my hearts forever bent. 
Soul has a dent.
Not at all content.
Oh look another cut. 
All because you called me a slut.
Still I keep trying.
Hoping I'm dying.
Cause to defy depression.
I have to die.
So tonight I say goodbye.

Your Words

Welcome ladies and Gentlemen. 
Please take a seat. 
There's someone that I'd like you to meet.
Yes, it’s you,  5 years back.
When your life was still on track.
At this time I was 10 years old.
And all my thoughts were as pure as gold.
But now this world has corrupted me. 
Now the worst is all you see.
I’d love to travel back in time.
Go back and change my own mind.
I would have never taken that first drink.
I’d have taken the time to stop and think.
As now I have to suffer the effects of that night.
And admit that everyone else was right.
Skip ahead and you’ll find me here.
Where happiness is nowhere near.
For your words gave me wounds so deep.
The pain so real that I long for eternal sleep.
I wish I could find a way to let it all go. 
But now this pain is all I know. 
So tonight I say my final goodbyes. 
To find a place where hapiness lies.
