"what's wrong?"
a pause filled by my harsh breaths
"ah... nothing."
nothing
when loneliness is four walls closing in on me living with myself is a punishmentnothing
when I'm slipping on a pool of dirty water where lies swim the current rises tsunami destroys or a ticking bomb either way I make everyone fall
nothing
when my lungs are constricted heartbeat trapped under flesh and bone in the dawn were I kill myself again and again on the same spot with this cigarette decorating my broken smile moments seem eternal for a while
nothing
when the roof shakes with the weight of our wicked words that bounce from corner to corner we can't stop hurting eachothernothing
when I'm listening to the same playlist dancing to the same tune each time with less tears in my eyes because I'm afraid of change
nothing
when all I can see is blood and dead bodies piled before me in a nightmare that never ends behind closed eyes I've killed my family
