When I tried to think of the one person I couldn’t live without
Why did your face come to my mind?
I pushed you away, it was my doing, my fault
I know that I refused you even when I knew that all you wanted was to make me feel like I was safe
I don’t remember when it was that I started needing you again
I cannot live this way, it’s like not breathing
I am drowning in my own mistakes; will you give me your hand?
I screamed the words that I couldn’t whisper to you
Did you hear me?  Did I reach you?
I lie forgotten, you’re sure to have found someone else to protect
I feel cut up, like a paper doll mutilated with scissors, you’re holding them
I saw you and you couldn’t look at me, it’s not like I could either
I wanted you to so badly, I needed to know that maybe you still wanted to fix me
I hold my head in my hands, it’s too heavy, if only I could cut it off
Would you come back to sew it on?
I screamed the words that I couldn’t whisper to you
Did you hear me?  Did I reach you?
I still talk to you
You lie within me, still breathing, like we are one
Do you feel my heart in yours?
I carry you
