I Really Need To Talk

by lonelynow   Sep 21, 2006


Hey?
How are you?
Is anyone there?
I really need to talk
Hello?

Words spill
In secret
No one can know
But I need
To talk to someone
I never knew
Loneliness
Could cut so deep
I need to tell someone
I think
I need help
No one is here for me
They never were
That's why
I need them
Now
Hands shake
Those who know
Are not available
No one else can know
Things weigh
On my mind
On the scales
Smothering me
I must release
Whatever
Runs through my veins
In place of blood
Will tears
Drip down my wrists?
I ate too much today
I must confess
Before guilt consumes me
Like a fire
Fed
With oxygen
I was just a child
I grew up
When there was no one
Left to talk to
Hurt
I wait
For an ear
To talk to
No one can really help
But I crave
Conversation
If only someone
Understood my secret
I thought she did
But she just wants
Me to recover
I can't
I can't
I just needed to talk
Betrayal
That would teach me
Burn my lips
With coal
Cleanse my soul
I am unclean
Inside
Held
Against the ground
Sullied
By my secret
Words spill
In secret
No one can know

Hello?
I need to talk to you
Are you there?
....?
OK..bye

    I really l ike it. I think I get the point. This is what I got from it. When you want someone to talk to no is ever there to listen to your problem. SO basically you wish you had someone to talk to? It's still good. lol 5/5
