"I worry about you" she says,
I've been dying to hear that
But she's a little too late
And I'm not seeking attention
But I wanted a reaction
Save me from my mind
I'm going back to the times
I can't forget
Why am I still upset
I'll slit my wrists-
You're all in for a twist
Everyone I've known
It's time to atone
"I never would've guessed"
No shit, dumbass
Save me from this eternal night
I feel I can no longer fight
After all, I am fine
"Don't worry," I tell her.//
