The rain will wash away my sins
And I will come out, alive again
Breathing fresh air once more
Feeling the life return to my veins
The rain will wash away my pain
And take with it my shackles
Binding me to this downward spiral
I will resurface from the depths
The rain will wash it all away
And I will be left standing there
Free from guilt and shame
To go on my way once more
I will be haunted no more
By blackened visions of the future
Of myself and my surroundings
My tablets will be clear
I will not be a blank slate
I have gone too far for that
But may I be released
From the burdens I am carrying
May the rain dissolve the b
I hate you; with all my heart I hate you
You drag me down repeatedly, keep me from getting up
When I try to take action you undermine me and stop me
When I have problems and want to work on them
You tell me it's useless to even try, why bother
And the more I avoid the things that make me feel bad
The worse I feel for not doing them to begin with
You know this, you like this, you want this
You know exactly how to pull me down
Over and over and over again, for months or even years on end
You're always there, right around the corner, when I think it's going well
Why are you always with me? Where did you come from?
But perhaps most im
I cut again last week, I thought it would feel good but it didn't
It just sent me deeper into desperation somehow
It used to bring me relief, from tension, from stress
Now it really just added to everything
I thought it would help but it only made it worse
In my sheer desperation I reached for it again
But now I feel like I have lost something
I hadn't cut in probably years, but I still feel like a cutter
I wrote again last week, but somehow I felt it had lost his power to me
I used to spin words in a way that somehow portrayed emotion
It moved me if no one else at least
But even that seems to have left me now
I miss writing, mayb
Why, is the only word running through my head
As I try to grasp the words that you are speaking
Why would you do this, what are you trying to prove?
Are you trying to destroy everything we ever had?
Why are you so hellbent on making it seem
Like I broke a promise of sacrifice to you?
A sacrifice that I would no doubt make
But only if all else failed
Why can you not see that? Why do you not understand?
Why would you ask me to do give up something
So dear, so close to me, just because you wanted to see?
Did you want to see how far you could push me?
Did you want to see how far you can go?
Or did you actually want to push me away?
They say that rules are made to be broken
I think the same can be said for promises
You make them in the heat of the moment
In the blink of an eye you can vow for anything
But the moment always passes
And you are left, with nothing but empty words
I could vow to never tell your secrets
But if it might save your life, I would break it in a heartbeat
I could vow to never leave your side for all eternity
But in order to keep a promise to myself, one day I might have to
So I will not promise to love you till the end of time
I will not promise we will be together forever
I can only promise for right now
I promise that you are the only
I wonder if you remember me
If you even spend a fraction of the time I do
On just remembering us
I remember you
I don't think I'll ever truly forget
And I spend more time thinking of
Phone calls in the dark and promises that were doomed from the start
Than I'd openly be willing to admit
I know you don't remember everything
You managed to forget, what to me was and still is
One of the most important events in my life
But do you remember the times where I wouldn't speak
And you would just talk for hours,
Trying to distract me from who I was
And reminding me I was free to interrupt you any time
I do, I used to spend my days doing
I have all these words I'll never speak
Lying at the tip of my tongue
And they keep threatening to fall off
Every time you're not around
Because when you are my throat seems to close up
And I can't even look you in the eye
And the things that I want to say to you
Have to come straight from the heart
There are so many letters I haven't written
And notes I haven't left you
Ways to show you what I mean that remain undone
Because when I look at you I find myself afraid
I don't know how it happened
I honestly don't remember
But one day I realized I could no longer talk to you
And all I want to tell you is that I'm sorry
I have changed a lot since you have left
But apparently I am still the same
Because I find myself stuck with the words
That you taught me when you first came
You have taken a lot from me
Remnants of innocence and a few shattered dreams
And a few things that you don't even remember taking
But I wish you'd left me the ability to write
Because you left me with enough
To fill a thousand scattered notebooks
But the words that flow from my hand, remain unchanged
Untill I can't bear to even try
And in the light of day
Everything feels different
But that sense of longing
Never really goes away
I wish that I could say
I don't think about you
At least not every day
But I would be lying
I still see your face
And I still think it's you
Every time the phone
Rings of no accord
And I wish that I could
Cut it out of my heart
And leave it bleeding on the ground
Like you once did with me
But I need to learn from this
I need to ensure that this
Will never ever be done to me
Ever again
I just wish I could store it away
And I try so hard
But it tends to fight its way
Back to the surface
Each and every time
I can feel every cell in my being
Begging for the pain to be released
Begging for me to slice the skin
And let the sorrow flow freely
But I can't, I won't, I shouldn't, I wouldn't
I know with all my heart that I cannot go there
Not now, maybe not ever, I cannot do that
But if I don't release the tension I don't know what I'll do
I hit myself I try in vain to bruise
I need something anything by now
Because this feeling just won't go away
I wish I could release the anger somehow
But I can't I shouldn't at least not in that way
I cannot leave a mark, no matter how much I want to
I might never be able to do so again but by God I
