I know it hurts
But please don't fret
The best of it
Has not come yet
I know the rain feels cold and wet
But don't do something you'll regret
If it starts to rain
Let's share my umbrella
I know sadness
Surely
Not as well as you
It won't show on my wrists
Or in the size of my portions
But I swear my brain chem is in contortions
My insides often all in knots
The battle you're fighting is a battle I've fought
Surely
Not as severe
But I perservere
And you will too
I promise--I promise we will both get through
You've got a friend in me
I've got a friend in
There
Somewhere
I look at your wrists and I hide my cringes
I'm reminded you're "lost" and "off of your hinges"
Through cutting and bleeding
Through purges and binges
Through gateway drugs and cigarette singes
So go ahead
Tell me all of your triggers
The words that makes you want to pull the trigger
I will censor my mouth from the words that sting
But I'll save the words that I at least figure
Will save you?
Will shake you?
I'm not saying you're broken
But let's cut the bullshit and the words unspoken
You need to be fixed
Need to be awoken
I can't keep playing this game
I have run out of tokens
Of wisdom
To guide you
To help look inside you
To freeze all of these demons that paralyze you
I signed away my heart long ago
When I called you my sister
You were not your own foe
So "Come into my heart and pay no rent"
The price I pay you long ago spent
If it starts to rain
Then take my umbrella
I know the rain feels cold and wet
But don't do something you'll regret
