My melancholy heart,
Unashamed of how you fall apart.

Killing me slowly with every break.
Making sure that I feel every little ache.

Falling in love with words, you know better..
Without remorse, you leave me with all the regret.
Alone to wear the scarlet letter.

How many times can one person take?
I've cried and begged for God's sake.

Still you beat as if there is more to this life.
Something more than what I am,
a tattered chaotic mess of strife.

You've dug my grave so many times.
I fear the worst when from that hole,
I struggle to climb.

Why can't you see we're fucking drowning?
My worries and thoughts so loud, it's resounding.

You can't keep searching for what's not there.
You can't keep going on without care.

The past of stitches and scars they take time to heal.
Learn to feel numb or keep feelings concealed.
