All I Ever Wanted by Delaney Lindley

If you can read the subliminal messages
On unscripted pages positioned into play
You must be very good
You're the only one that ever could

Voices won't stop coming
Asking if I'm fine
They're all staring
Finally seeing the tragedy
The nightmare I've become
The most threatening time for me is when I'm alone
It's always the same
Everyday another cut to prove I am still alive
To my dismay
Each of the slashes
Spell out his name

This close to Christmas
The snow is comforting
Now I can go numb without drugs or pills
I just have to sit outside have some time to analyze
The scratches in my skin
They watch of course because they think
I've stopped all forms of self-harm
But a day in my head is more lethal
Than any blade on my arm

Pretty shapes of memories
Bleeding from my skin
Deep and mesmerizing
Lately I don't know
Why the shapes are there
Your promises are fading
From a time when they were all I had
I still cry everynight
Because when I dream all I see is him
I saw his face with a girl today
And it doesn't hurt to know it's over
It hurts to know it might've been pretend
It's times like this I dread
When there is everything to say
And nothing left to be said

I'm so mad and sad
Apathetic and neurotic
Depressive and psychotic
I'll explode or implode
Searching for reasons why
Because when I look at you
You're all I've got
I see nothing but a guy I let take my heart
And I still don't know why I let him take it

You're with her
And you're everything I ever had
You're all I ever wanted.
