Hell

She told me she hurts herself when I'm not around.
In the shape of hearts on her arms
That night she went on holiday,
Five years ago.
She never told me why,
Or what this meant, not a word.
She just inconspicuously changed the subject
Every time I worried about her.
When she came back, I looked for scars,
It was winter time, she hid them well,
She keeps hiding behind her happy exterior
That she feels like she's in hell.
And for five years, we never talked.
Not a word, was I to blame?
For not being there with her,
On that fateful day?
Now she's miles away, with a negative mentality
And I no longer care,
She's got someone else,
To share stories with.
Though concern whether she'll live
With all these troubles and memories
Seldomly comes to mind
There's nothing I can say or do.
It's his burden now.
He can break her as she sees fit,
Just one vunerable spot,
And she'll be in pieces
But I know he'll treat her right,
Even though its none of my business,
Though he knows not of the consequences
If he breaks her
But like I said, I no longer care
It's none of my concern
I have a hell of my own now
Thanks to her.

I tell stories of dreams, memories and fictionous scenarios. I write lyrics to songs that will never be sung. 20 years young, hurt by love, but refuse to give in.

Shot

A shot is a shot, it doesn't matter from who's gun it came. I can't breathe when I think about it, I can't breathe. A leaded weight ties itself to my lungs and I just can't breathe.

Heat

16+ warning. Heat. Condensed into stinging welts. Clenching muscles under too-hot bed sheets. Tears tugged out of reluctant eye corners. A mantra of belief. Whispered under ragged breath.

Scars

Why does it matter if I have scars on my body. Why does it matter if I refuse to hide my scars in shame. Why does it matter to you. It's my life. I am who I am.

Afterwards

One time I dug metal into my skin because I was sad. You know, usually when people are sad they cry and cry and cry. But see, I was sad and I didn't cry. I didn't shed a tear.

Pretty Lies

Diet pills and razorblades. And words to keep me calm. Diaries and records. Of all the things that I've done wrong. Poems with untold stories. Worn edges and ink smears. Memories of all the nights.

She's Mine, Chp 1.

{ ~ lexis pov. } I set my razor down as my hands shake like the rest of my body. I leaned against the sink, tears falling onto my red covered on.
