Tell me baby,
You call this love ?

When i talk to you about my pain,
You say " you're getting late,
Its the wrong time,
for me to have some faith,
in this relationship which failed "


I keep waiting for you,
As i look at the sun,
It shines on my face
Confusing my tears
with the sweat of my brows,
I feel it slowly burn away my skin
As it turns red, like the bloody scars
Made by the touch of your poisonous hands.

And when you come back
"I love you" you say
Without even looking at my withered face
As you pass me by I'm curled up on the red floor
Colored by blood seeping from my open wounds
I raise my hand in hope you'll hold it
Maybe for a change your touch will lessen my pain
But its too late, today too,
I'll have to die through all over again.

Then I hear you talking on the phone,
You say you're lonely,
With no one to care for you...
As i lie outside your room,
Crying once again, but not of my wounds..
but of your superficial pain
Hope you'd open your eyes and see
Today again i died, 26th time
Since morning, just coz of your lies.

I wish i could leave you,
I wish i could hate you all the same,
I wish i could ignore you even with your white lies,
I wish i couldn't see through your unloyal desires.

But i do,
You know that,
But still you do...

The way you kill me again-n-again
Just coz you know,
No matter what
I'll love you till my dying breath.
As i lay on my death bed.

but this game of breaths,
has, but one serious flaw
nothings da8ed,
I tried so hard to die,
but again i failed

everyday is agony,
every night is full of pain,
just to wake up,
next to your beautiful face
my fingers curl up inside
as i try to touch it once again
its "love" i say
and cry one more time with a smile on my face
That's the Love i feel

This made my heart ache. There is so much in this work of yours, the feelings, the way you've mentioned them <3

How lonely you can feel, things you try to do to capture the attention of your loved one, even if it includes hurting yourself so atleast they would notice. While they are off hungry for other people's attention because they look at you as a side option, one that's gonna be there in the end because they know you love them and the love that they say they have for you is just to give you a false surety to keep you with them

:iconsadcuddleplz: beautiful piece indeed, much heartfelt.
