Three Days

I haven't slept in three days

Would you like to know why?

On Saturday I thought you killed yourself

That night all I did was cry

The nightmares will not leave my head

I wake up and I scream

I haven't had a goodnight sleep

And fuck, it's killing me

On Sunday I tried to slit my throat

I clutched the knife so tight

I shook like a leaf and took a deep breath

Although I didn't say goodbye

On Monday I drank coffee

I got dressed and put on a fake smile

I acted although everything was normal

Like I've done every day for awhile

Today I drank coffee

Covered my arms and faked a smile

If they knew I didn't feel normal

I don't think I'd still be alive

Tomorrow won't be any different

Though the lines will grow more thick

The scars I bare I will never show them

The scars will make them sick

I will hide it away

Like I must always do

"Don't let them in," she told me

"They will never love you,"
