I don't know how to feel

I don't know when to speak

I feel like when I do

It will be to no one

Here one second

Gone the next

The people I meet tend

To never stay

Whether they leave

Or die

I want to stop

Close myself off

I don't want to cry

Over people

I've never even really met

But I don't need to meet them

Because I know them still

I know them and their thoughts

They way they are at two in the morning

The way they feel when

They are giving up hope

But I just wish that for once

I can help people

Without it not working

I'm sick

Of getting that phone call

That text

Where my eyes water

And I crawl to my bath

To curl up

On the cold bottom

Where my cries of pain echo

To the abyss that is used to my presence

I feel like I come here so often

That the tub knows my name

That my tears are part of it's making

That my curled body

Is imprinted on the bottom

I just wanted to help them

I just

Im sorry
