My eyes are tired,
Red with pain,
Drained out,
Like desert rain.
Dull ache
Through my bones,
Crushed silk,
Love on loans.
Fairy wings
Through locked doors,
Unpainted walls,
Red foot sores.
Loneliness is a game
Handle me with care,
But I'm a lightweight.
Say you'll be there.

Eighteen. Macabre & Romance
The shower my bed. The bathroom stall and my head. These are the places my tears have been shed. Into my pillow and out in the street. Inside my nightmares and inside my dreams.
I'm crying out for help, But none will answer me. I'm begging for salvation, In a large and empty sea. Please remove your apathy, And take a closer look.
You ask if I am okay. I really don't know what to say. I try to open my mouth to speak. But words in my head are playing hide and seek. So I keep quiet and try to smile.
Don't tell me I'm beautiful. It makes me hurt worse. I despise your kind words-. Sorry to be terse. When you tell me I'm worth it. I just want to collapse. Because I can't listen.
Silent night hold me tight. Please stay by my side. There's nothing more I need in life than my favourite place to hide. You give me so much comfort. Everything I need.
Wounds of war, healed with stitches, Wounds of soul, healed with words, Pain inflicted, Cruel to me.
Standing in a crowd, I can't help but shout allowed, Why can't you see me. Why can't you hear me. They say it's all my fault, They begin their verbal assault, Why am I not pretty. Why am I not witty.
A waterfall of fear, Drips in every tear. A torrential tear thunder, Is filled with so much wonder. A thousand spiky lies, Weaves its way into cries. Every piece of pain, Is totaled in a tear-rain.
