You were never there when I needed you Never pulling me back when I would run away Never taking the pills from my hands Putting the gun down Instead you watched as I cried Keeping your distance Showing you didn’t want the ties You listened as I shared my problems That’s a joke, you only read and forgot When I screamed for someone to listen When I reached my hand out for someone to hold When I strayed into that corner Slitting my wrists Hiding from fears Detaching from everything And everyone And every being As the monsters grew within my mind And killed all hope that I’d survive You were never there to show you care For you’ve given up on your once love And proven yourself to be Just like everyone else But what I promise What I cannot deny Or cannot escape Is that I will never be like all the rest Like you And I will never give up on you.Birth sign: Scorpio
