Knowledge
You turn up the music to drown out the noise. The never ceasing thinking. Horrid thoughts, swirling, lashing, forcing their way to the front of your mind. Your head thrashes as you clutch your ears. You turn the music louder, hearing your ears ring as a warning to turn it down. The thoughts mimic the music and swell ever louder.
You desperately try to reach out to your companions, but none offer help. They turn their backs to you, arms crossed a clear smirk twisting their faces into ugly masks. You turn the music up louder to it's max volume, the ringing becoming a screaming to...

Tainted
These wounds won't heal.
They won't stop bleeding.
I've bandaged them.
I've taken care of them.
But they won't leave,
Won't heal.
They still ooze blood,
Constantly taining everything.
I stitch them up.
I bandage them.
I clean them.
I prevent infections.
But it always comes back.
Sometimes it gushes,
Others it just barely oozes.
They won'r go away.
Right when they seem healed
I find them, gushing blood.
I suppress it, push it back,
Try to stop the bleeding.
But it never stops
Never...
They won't stop bleeding.
I've bandaged them.
I've taken care of them.
But they won't leave,
Won't heal.
They still ooze blood,
Constantly taining everything.
I stitch them up.
I bandage them.
I clean them.
I prevent infections.
But it always comes back.
Sometimes it gushes,
Others it just barely oozes.
They won'r go away.
Right when they seem healed
I find them, gushing blood.
I suppress it, push it back,
Try to stop the bleeding.
But it never stops
Never...

...
I want you to hug me.
I want you to hold me and never let go.
I want you to feel towards me how I feel towards you.
I know it won't happen.
I know I have no chance with you.
So I'll settle for a simple friendship.
Friendship is better than nothing after all.
Besides, your heart belongs to another.
One who came before me.
You belong to her.
And she belongs to you.
Regardless of doubts.
She wronged you.
Yet you don't attempt to get revenge.
You stay faithful when she could not.
It's admirable.
It's sweet....

Goodbye
Goodbye old friend.
If you ever were a friend.
I'm not angry.
I made sure I was not angry when I decided.
Words said in anger mean nothing.
So here is my honest word.
Not spoken in anger or spite.
I don't hate you.
I don't hate her.
I don't hate them.
I hate the actions.
The lies.
The deciet.
And the pressure.
The pressure to be who I know I'm not.
I have my choices to make.
And you have yours.
I have my goals.
And you have yours.
I have chosen my path.
Very carefully have I considered.
And I have picked my...

Second chance
Why do you feel the need to lie?
Why must you lie to me?
What have I done to you?
You know I hate being lied to.
You know I hate it when you lie to me.
You know I hate liars.
And still you lie.
You lie to me.
You lie to others.
I don't lie to you.
I don't think I ever have.
And I never would.
I would take a bullet for you.
I always respected your space.
Always respected your decisions.
And you can't give me the same respect.
You tell secrets, ones that aren't yours to tell.
And you keep secrets that...
Why must you lie to me?
What have I done to you?
You know I hate being lied to.
You know I hate it when you lie to me.
You know I hate liars.
And still you lie.
You lie to me.
You lie to others.
I don't lie to you.
I don't think I ever have.
And I never would.
I would take a bullet for you.
I always respected your space.
Always respected your decisions.
And you can't give me the same respect.

I don't know
I don't know what to do.
Don't know what to say.
I'm surprised at you.
You shocked me in the most unpleasant way.
I don't know what to do.
All I know to do is pray.
I can't handle this mess.
Can't handle this information.
I can't handle you.
I can't clean up your mess.
I can't fix you.
I can't help you.
What am I supposed to do?
What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to say?
That it's perfectly okay?
I can't say that.
I can't lie to you.
I won't lie to you.
It's not right.
Do you...
Don't know what to say.
I'm surprised at you.
You shocked me in the most unpleasant way.
I don't know what to do.
All I know to do is pray.
I can't handle this mess.
Can't handle this information.

I can't clean up your mess.

Dream
You open the door and peek in. Gaze upon the mess I made. Blood pouring all over the floor chucks of skin missing. I look up sheepishly as your expression changes. I look back down at my mess, half clotted blood on the floor, I didn't know I could bleed so much. I expected to be passed out by now. You rush forward and take me in your arms, lifting me and sitting on my bed laying me in your lap. you look into my eyes, worry written all over your face as you ask what happened. I look down at my still bleeding cuts and missing chunks of skin. I'm not sure I say weakly I kind of lost it... I'm...

These scars
These scars run deep. Far deeper than skin. Much deeper than shown. They run through the skin to the muscles. They run through my memories straight to my brain. I avoid the jagged edges, avoid getting cut deeper... but they haunt me, these scarred memories hunt me down and attack me... they debilitate me and render me useless... they torture me and try to kill me...
These scars are constantly with me... they are always there... when people leave they are there to fuel me... they give me the strength... the strength to press the jagged edge into my flesh and create more...
