we suffer in darkness
sweet pure agony
we see the empty
the misused
the confused
we seep into dreams so swift
so complete do our futures form
into ocean seas
and rocky cliffs
'falling' off stepping stones
into busy roads
- we are
the ones who wish to fall asleep
violently and also
accidentally
while we're with someone that
swears they love us
and we
are the ones who make plans and
scratch our wrists
waiting for our emotional pain
to please quit throbbing
we wait
for the vast blackness
to overcome us
- not because we are weak
but because we are
strong;
