blues

Sat, 08/13/2016 - 02:31 -- gaalexi

she's got the whole universe running through her veins and sometimes she chooses to let it out,

she lets oceans and stars run out of her arms.

tears fill my eyes and I wish I could help.

if I could take what hurts you away I would,

but I am a sad girl with sad blood so transfusions are useless.

the doctors say it's something in you head,

but darling I know that's not the reason you can't get out of bed.

they've tried medicine and therapy,

but what's the use?

terminal sadness, a case of the blues.

it feels like there is nothing left of you.

depression is menacing,

like a thorn in your life.

i beg of you, please do not turn of the light.

days fade into nights and you still feel alone and all I can offer is a hand to hold.

i'm stuck with nothing left to do until you realize how many people love you.
