Nightmare

You mark me
In places the nobody sees
Thin red lines
Stinging and sore
You call to me in my weakest moments
You tell me, you're the only one I can turn too
Now, I know it's true
No matter how hard I try
Inside I want to die
You scream in my head
How much you think I should be dead
You're an alway existent nightmare
Haunting me wherever I go
Whether it's during sleep
Or when I'm awake
I always hear your voice
Taunting me into using you again
To take you out of my secret bin
And drag you across my skin
Releasing my paint
And staining my pale white pages
To make a pretty picture with a twist
So hear me when I say this
Sweet nightmare,
Even know you're my only friend
Why do you want my life to end?
