That feeling of hopelessness

That feeling of me bleeding

That feeling of giving myself away


Is it all in my head?

Like I'm not important anymore

Like the things I do mean nothing

Comfort in the falling

Comfort in the pieces breaking

You wouldn't understand


I've tried to fix this but honestly no one cares like me

No one loves like me

No one gives like me


But you just can't see 

Because you are not like me


Again I feel alone

Closing the wounds with my hands

Holding the pain in 

Breathing it in 


I could give you the world, but would that be enough for you

It never mattered

I'll be here when no one else will


The tragedy of caring
