Why you die

Everything hurts

Every breath feels like fire burning through your lungsYet it's so cold that you freeze before you burnYou're frozenNowhere to turn// You try to cry but the tears won't fallYou try to scream but your voice keeps breakingYou try to run away but you're chained by the pain// Pain needs somewhere to goSo you end up with scars Unexplained scarsScars making up for tears// You aren't asking for muchAll you want is someone to turn toA shoulder to cry onFor your tears to be shed while someone holds youSomeone cares Someone who actually knows you Isn't just looking through another side of your kaleidoscope world // You just want love To love and to be loveBut love never comes// So what's the point in being alive when you aren't living just survivingYou aren't wanted  You aren't loved//  So the knife cuts through your skin The voices come saying "they care when you're dead..." It never got to finish and say "because they loved all along."//
