I have locked you out

Shut down inside where you can't see

Yes you can leave me lonely

No, I'm perfectly fine


Words that drip like honey

taste like poison

but become truer

when I pull you close


I only feel the guilt 

late at night

when my head's on your chest

I don't think you'll understand


I have these icky thoughts

These black feeling

That creep inside me all the time

but I swear I'm fine


There's nothing this head of mine

that could make me see

How you could hold the weight

That buries my chest


I'd share it if I could

muster the strength to form the words

but I see you for what you are

the weight I carry is mine


I am okay


I will be okay


I pinky promise


I'm just tired.
