" reason to live "




when i look into her eyes
i experience the worst pain i can know
she hides her pain with her scars
fake happiness is the only thing she’ll show

i wish i could reach out and help her
be there for her like i was before
i wish i could take all the shit away
but that can last no more

i wonder how i ever kept her alive
why she stuck around for me
i wonder how i gave her a reason to live
how i gave her a reason to be

now that i left her , she locks herself up
her wrists cut and scratched
i tried to go onto her level
her pain , i tried to match

so now that i know what it feels like
to blade away the pain
i can no longer help her
no human can stop the rain
