it's the hardest thing in the world, 

watching you fade.

I'm waiting until you become dust 

all for a more prominent ribcage

and to be able to cut diamonds

with your collarbones.

it's the hardest thing in the world,

watching you cry

in front of your reflection.

your pain is never beautiful

but your soul always will be.

you always were.

it's the hardest thing in the world,

watching you die.

you were always so fragile,

so delicate. I fear you might snap

when I try to hug you close,

with your bones digging into my arms.

it's the hardest thing in the world,

watching you fight.

although, it's not so much of a fight

when you're too tired to

and the winner is guaranteed

and you never wanted to win anyway.
