It's always you who
I paint in my words
But tonight
I'm unraveling and crumbling
To the ground
Six feet under and maybe
I will finally be able
To fall asleep one night
With no tears
No more battle scars
But this phantom pain
Won't leave me,
The only things that stay
Are the ones you want
To let go,
Tie them to a string
On a helium ballon
And let the world deal with
Your secrets,
But helium dies in the hailstorm
I'll keep them to me
For one more night
One more darkness
I will let them rip me apart
With no respect towards
The image others have to see
I've never thought
My monster would drag down
Others
Till I see them all on my level
And deeper
Stand my brothers and sister
Don't fall prey to the trap
The trap of my heart
Mind
And soul
Run far away from me
Before I'm forced to leave you
Again
I'll smile tommorow
I'll laugh and live
But when the sun is gone
So is the Kat you know
You love
You hate
You will never trust again
But who really loves me?
Who looks at me
And thinks
Very simply ,
Just says to themselves,
"Her"
Who sees me at my lowest
Pushing away others
And sobbing uncontrollably
And wants to stay with
The most destructive girl I know
For as long as
This illusion allows?
And why?
Why stay when everyone is
Gone?
