Let Me Fall
The pretty blue sky reflects it's cold onto my face
I'm empty inside, crawling with deceit and lies.
Covering me, seeping into my pores.
I want to close the doors, stop my descent
I want to back into a corner, curl up and scream
Instead I smile and talk words that leave me like vapour.
No one notices or maybe no-one cares.
I watch the Autumn leaves dying on the branches
I feel like that, I want to pick them up and tell them I care
That I'll look after them after they've fallen
That I'll worry, that I'll make sure they're safe
Instead I watch from my window and press my head against the cold glass
I don't even flinch at the sharpness anymore.
No-one notices or maybe no-one cares.
I sit and watch the reflections, moving, talking, being.
I envy and hate everything before me
I want to fall to my knees and cry for what I've become.
Grating, vile, tormented, black and I've created a monster.
I want to let go of my hold and just fall down to my fate.
Just let me go, let me fall, leave me, please.
No-one notices or maybe no-one cares.
I want to show you my hands so you can see what's seeping out.
Evil, bad, impure, covered and coated in the invisible.
Why can't anyone else see me for what I am now?
I accept my fate of pain, ripping, shredding, pure worthlessness.
Sealed like a letter that's lost without an address.
Useless, helpless, alone, cold, empty, small and wretched.
No-one notices or maybe no-one cares.
I care.
About me.
About you.
And it's slicing me in two.
Cutting.
I'm dripping.
Pooling in my palms.
Dirty hands.
My dirty hands.
I feel the tears behind my eyes.
Fighting to walk in the light.
Please, I sob in my voice.
Leave me, let me go, let me fall.
Let this stop, give me peace.
This isn't how it was meant to be.
Not like this.
I wasn't meant to be this way.
I was meant to be good, pure, wonderful.
Not what I see in the mirror.
Not what I see looking back at me.
Instead I'm alone, surrounded by people but alone.
And I want to stop it, my descent, but I'm fighting the tide.
It's pushing me away from the shore, I can't fight it.
Useless, I'm not strong enough anymore.
Weak, fragile, sobbing.
Just leave me, let me be, let me go, please.
No-one cares and for once I'm glad.
