Im afraid

by JD   Nov 22, 2008


The ground seems to move beneath my feet.
The cold air is numbing my pain
remind me why I'm still running?
my breath silhouetting up to the heavens
I'm thinking of you.

There was nothing that could ever hurt me.
i was safe in your arms
no more secrets, no more feeling alone.
i couldn't help but breathe that night
i was alive.

Now silence surrounds me
drawing me toward the blade.
every time the metal kisses my flesh,
people i love, suffer a little more.
I'm dying tonight.

The mirror doesn't lie.
the scars on my skin suffocate me.
my fiends unleashed.
sweet tears stream down my face
i know ill never be good enough for you.

I'm afraid.
