And the marks upon it
I can only cry
What have I become?

As I stare at your face
And think about you
I burst into tears
What have I become?

Is my life really that bad?
I know the answer
Yes
Of course it is

But how did it get this way?
I've done nothing wrong
It started out an innocent crush
But it grew uncontrollably

I love you
As much as I hate it
But you barely notice me
And somehow, that matters more than it should

I'm too young for this
Too young to be this far gone in love
Too young to care so much about someone
Too young for these marks on my wrist

But my love is there
These marks are here
And I need to know

Cutting yourself because of love is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Jeez, you really need help. A little advice: Go to Church. Tell someone that can and will help you. Don't be Stupid. Your Life is more important than that.

*hug* people have no right to judge how you feel or how you put it into words...

I'm not sure what quite to say in this comment, but I think you've got a talent
that can be developed into really good writing. My suggestion is try to get into
a creative writing class (it was the best thing that happened to my writing).
It would be wise not to let love be the cause of hurting yourself (I've been there
though so I can't judge). I hope you're able to get the help tha tyou need and
perhaps then you'll find out the whys that you're wondering.

Sorry I jabbered so much. *hugs*

Hurting yourself isnt the answer, you have to think about the other people in your life and how much they love you. Your not the only one who has been deeply in love only to have their heart broken, many have. Emotional pain is far more sever than physical pain and it takes longer to heal but eventually you do and you will look back only to see how much you have grown and how happy you are.
