I'm an emotional creature
That's an honest admission
And I have found myself
In a painful position

My life had been crashing
And one jumped in fast
To keep me above the waves
That continually crashed

Hard on my heart
An emotional blow
I stumbled and fell
But she pulled me from below

I felt like a child
Rescued by their hero
But she lost interest fast
Her presence gone to zero

It was all unexpected
We have quite a history
Of drinking and fighting
And causing more misery

But she said that she loved me
And had missed me a lot
But now she's just busy
And I'm feeling forgot

She gave me some gifts
For my last day of birth
And for once I felt loved
She returned my self worth

I don't even try
To talk to her now
She seems much too stressed
Though my tears still rain down

After things that I've faced
For the bulk of this year
My anxiety's heightened
I hide out of fear

My heart is a playground
To be used at leisure
My body an object
Apparently just for pleasure

Left to my thoughts
I'm not sure how I'll fare
As I die here alone
Knowing no one is there.....

I've loved and I've lost
So much I can't pay
For all of the pain
That's now headed my way

If I faced it alone
I'm unsure of my fate
And they think I have time
To just sit here and wait

There's a depth to love
That I need in my world
A connection between
This boy and some girl

I hoped she had my back
No matter the future
My heart just bleeds out
I need more than a suture

I'll light up my candles
And hope to find peace
I wish that I didn't
Think love a disease

It infests just like lice
And takes just as long to kill
So you're left with the symptoms
Much longer than the thrill

I'm falling to pieces
I'm bound in despair
Is there any saving me now?
Yes, hello? Are you there?
