Scarred

She was covered in scars

and my skin was bare,

She was a weight

that I agreed to bear.

She swallowed pills,

Cut up her thighs,

Desperate to feel better,

Seeking out highs.

I was the stupid one,

I "needed the fix"

She built a wall between us,

But I was holding the bricks,

Everytime she cried

I broke

The wall down to offer my shoulder,

But still the wall could not be battled

She wouldn't let me hold her.

Eventually we fell apart,

Her happiness meant more

Than anything we ever had,

I let her close the door.

But as it closed it cut my skin

And the blood made it all real,

Cause I was numb before you came,

And now I can't help but feel.
