My skin is made of rose petals
And I am fragile
Tearing apart like worn silk
Pulling my skin off in handfuls
Wishing I were made of porcelain
So that I could shatter into a million pieces
Thin
Flawless
Pale
And you could put me back together again
In any shape or form
And I would be perfect to you
Because you would have me the way you want me
I am scars and bones
Hiding behind the illusion that everything is fine
You nod and pretend to believe my lies
But we both know you dont
And I am shrinking down
Vanishing
So as not to cause you anymore pain than I already do
Razors are flying across my hollow eyes
As I rock myself to sleep
Crying silently
Wishing things could be different
Wishing I didnt have to say goodbye
Wishing I could somehow be the person I know I can never be for you
There are twenty-seven names for tears
And I know them all
And I will write them across my shattered sky
As I pray to whomever is listening
That someone will hear my broken voice
And come to save me
Save me the way you couldnt
Save me the way we both know you cant
And I am fragile
Tearing apart like worn silk
Pulling my skin off in handfuls
Wishing I were made of porcelain
So that I could shatter into a million pieces
Thin
Flawless
Pale
And you could put me back together again
In any shape or form
And I would be perfect to you
Because you would have me the way you want me
I am scars and bones
Hiding behind the illusion that everything is fine
You nod and pretend to believe my lies
But we both know you dont
And I am shrinking down
Vanishing
So as not to cause you anymore pain than I already do
Razors are flying across my hollow eyes
As I rock myself to sleep
Crying silently
Wishing things could be different
Wishing I didnt have to say goodbye
Wishing I could somehow be the person I know I can never be for you
There are twenty-seven names for tears
And I know them all
And I will write them across my shattered sky
As I pray to whomever is listening
That someone will hear my broken voice
And come to save me
Save me the way you couldnt
Save me the way we both know you cant
