Terrified

Just leave me alone
I hate you all
You say all these words
But you leave me to fall
I could give you my heart, my soul, my life
I’ll only be met in the back with a knife
I could give you my all whatever you need
Just stay by my side don’t leave me to bleed
I know what I said
I’m sorry I lied
You always leave me
And I’ve always cried
I’m sick in the head
I’m broken inside
I should fill it with lead
But I’m terrified
To die
I cry
A bit then I sigh
I dry
My eye
Then I go and lie
And you wonder why
I tell you these things
That you know aren’t true
I’m sorry I’ve never been honest with you
But I’m terrified of the look you might shoot me
If I admit that I want to shoot me
It’s crazy I know
But what can I do
You wanted this right
For me to be true
I’m going to die
Alone as I feel
That’s not just my wish
I know that it’s real
And try as you might
To comfort me
You can’t convince me
That it won’t be
You insist that it’s wrong
But now you’ve just lied
I know that it’s true
And I’m terrified.
