I've sewn my mouth shut again, maybe if it stays that way, I'll slowly fade from your eyes.

What do I do?

Why haven't I learned to repeat the words I've practiced in my head?

They'd do more damage outside, in real life but I'm far to terrified.

I wanna climb back into the bathroom, it's where all of them hide in the drawers.

But I don't want it to be a immediate resort, I can't calm down though, you'll help me right?

I sort of wanna die and I sort of wanna survive, I can't figure out which is right and who it will hurt the worst if it's tonight.

I made a mess the other night.

Cold blue markers marked words on my thighs.

Blood red pens made blood on my arms and wrists.

I told you I was cleaning up, but what I wanted to have to clean up and what I ended cleaning up, were two different things.

I crawled up and covered up underneath the blankets suffocating my skin.

I wanna hold out my hand in the cold air but it's to cold out there so I can't stay long, cause obviously you're not here to keep me warm.

I'm not, but I am?Where stories live. Discover now
