“Cos every breath is unbearably painful”

“You said you love me, how could words be so empty”

“Carved deep into my veins but didn't bleedOverdosed on sleeping pills but didn't sleepWhen your heart is heavy, it gets increasingly harder to breatheClearly there's a GodBut why has he forsaken me?”

“The life I've livedWhat more can one ask forApart from a grand exitSlit of the wristTotal bliss”

“I trusted you with my scarsBut now I'm bleedingSaid I was your moon and you were the starsYou're so deceivingI trusted you with my scarsBut now I'm bleedingThe wound is deep Blood is seeping”

“Like the shadow of deathThe residue of heartbreakAlways lingers in the backgroundWith its darkness threatening to consume you”
