My Cry For Help

I’d kill for you to breathe for me
Take me in your arms
Take me to the stars
Set my heart on fire,
Melt the shards of ice

Wrap the wounds I’ve caused myself
Steal my needles, hide my knives
This is my cry for help

I’m broken, broken, from all the pain
Drowning in tears,
Choking on blood
Watch me as I claw myself
Fingernails deep in porcelain skin

My flesh is crawling
I feel diseased
You reach to wipe away my tear
And watch my face
As it crumbles
Dust to dust,
Sealed with a tear,
Into the palm of your hand.
