It Hurts

It hurts, it stabs


Your name hurts so bad


When I see or I think,


I fall down under and I sink


Drowning in despair,


Hell is beyond repair.


Anxiety gives and it fills


Darkness within my heart, it kills


My soul is broken and dead


But nowhere near as bad as my head


I try to ignore, to bottle and hide


But yesterday, again, I died


And today I will too.


The pain is true,


The deathly blue


Hollowed and followed


Tears are swallowed


Dying inside, slowly wither and decay


This is what I get, this is everyone's repay


I deserve, and I reserve


The pain to preserve


Because all I know,


And all I can feel


Is that death


Is too close to be real.
