You understand?
I doubt that
You say you don't care
Then you do
I've heard those lines a thousand times from you
It's always the same
And you're still here
So don't play that game
It's over now

My head's in the ground and my heart's on fire
Consuming everything I feel
I slipped and I fell and I lost my grip
I don't know how to heal
But every morning that I wake up
Is another day we didn't break up
And I have nothing left to live for
But the times you remind me there's something more

I found myself a way to deal with you
I'm happier
'Cause I hurt
I'm just like you
If only you knew
Tug at my sleeves to hide it from you
Lock myself away
Don't come in
Watching my skin bleed
I must be **** up

I'm killing myself and it feels so good
Every time I hit the ground
It takes it all away so I can breathe
But I'm nowhere to be found
You've driven away so easily
Every trace of sanity in me
I throw it to the sky 'cause I don't care
My immortal follows me everywhere

You'll never know what it's like
To hide behind your clothes
The fear of being exposed
No, you don't know what it's like
To have this in your head
Was it something you said?

One pill or three, or thirty thousand?
Who the hell cares, nobody's counting
Cut the cord
Cut it up
Like my arms
All cut up
Watch it bleed
My mind recedes
I miss you now
I'm sorry now
But you don't know
Don't think you do
You'll never know
What I go through
You don't know what it's like to be me [comments] => 6 [counter] => 235 [topic] => 32 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Moonlit... I didn't expect something like this out of you right now... I know I've missed most poems in the past couple of days... I thought you where very happy though. I hope nothing has changed and that this just needed to come out.

Most of the time no one understands your pain but you. But everyone has felt pain in their lifetime so emphathy is easily given. There is no person on this earth worth hurting yourself over. You deserve the best life can offer because your special whether you no it or not.

this is my feelings and emotions right now. u have a really great writing talent.
what i am about to say u can chose to ignor or read. when i first got comments i was like, "how do they know what i've gone throug?" or "they've never lived my life.
but then i realized when someone commented and explain it it hit me.
no they haven't lived your life but they have been through hell.
what is helping me right now is that i found a friend that i really trust and told her the whole story. everything. things i've never told anyone else. she is helping me through this. i am not very suicidal anymore, though i attempted 3 times. but i hope u see that ending it is not the way. sorry this is so long but i just had to write. i don't want anyone to go through what i have, and u have gone through.
