ghost hands
touching skin
dosed up
nothingness
hard to
swallow lies
heartbreaks
swollen eyes
shoulders shifted
so conflicted
ask for help
but you won't listen
it was useless
dead responses
empty questions
cut your losses
hushed voices whisper secrets only we can know
tough choices leave us bleeding in the undertow
feeling heavy in my chest simply letting go
hands around my neck like I'm hanging from a rope
lungs burning, bodies turning like it's all we know
eyes searching through the shadows looking for a ghost
empty vessels in my heart filled with saltwater
maybe now I'll drown the demons that still haunt her
please wait
don't go
I'm fine with living like I'm walking on the edge of the knife
saltwater
seafoam
I'm fine and I can't breathe but I'm thinking maybe that's alright
a dying language
between you and me
critically endangered
a heart that won't beat
making sad excuses
and simply denying
fucking useless
you say that you're trying
