He stands there staring

He whispers my name quietly

And tells me to die

He tells me I'm no longer wanted

But why

He's not real

He's all in my mind

And yet I seem to believe him

Because he is around longer

He tells me the truth

At least partly truth

That I'm lazy

I'm to sensitive

I cry to much

And yet his touch

Is gentle

But his words

Are bitter

They leave a ever ringing bell

In my mind

And yet I can't get rid of him

He doesn't want to leave

He says he loves me

But he's hurtful

I see him every night

And I'll cry

For him to leave

Why won't he leave me alone

He doesn't really love me

I know because he's me

And I don't seem to love myself

So I look for love in strangers

Hoping to feel loved once again

So yes he hates me

I hate me

My family plans to send me away

For so called help

When they know he's with me

He doesn't want me to get help

And that's okay

Because some days I can shut him out

And be okay

But then my mom screams at me

And he comes back making me cry

Which makes her scream more

Which makes him sad

Because he says he loves me

But how can he love me when he can't even help me

So I shut him out more

I shut everyone out

I don't talk

I still look for love

I still look for affection

But not for him

For me
