And Stop Pretending Like You Want To Be With Me Please,
Stop Wasting Me,
I Have Little To Give...
I Can't Do Much...
I Can't Say Much...
I Sing Quietly For The Deaf...
And Give Flowers To The Poor...
You See Me Walking,
But Do You Trip And Fall Over The Cracks...
Don't Give Me A Rose That'll Die...
Don't Give Me Tears That Won't Dry...
And Don't Give Me Words That Won't Heal...
I Bless The Peeling Layers Of Your Skin...
Your New And Undying...
Untrustworthy And Unreliable...
I Hate Your Thoughts...
I Hate Your Beliefs...
Your Tricks And Devices...
I Can't Look It's Killing Me...
Now Smile Like You Mean It...

I really liked the emotion in this. I'm not sure about every word starting with a capital but I guess that's the writers choice. Good job
