Wipe away my pain

pain floods my heart and head

blood flows from my wrists

making stains on my dress

as i wonder how i got reduced to this

Tears fall from my eyes

like gray clouds in the clear skies

i close my eyes

desperately wondering why

i'm becoming the screw up i used to be

again, its like deja vu

paranoia and pain are the only things i can feel

I want to scream

but i can't speak

i want to feel

love, but i can't breathe

Take my hand and wipe my tears away

I don't want your words of comfort

Just stop talking and let me lean

on your shoulders cause i truly believe

That when you touch me, my body starts to heal

my mind feels relief

the pain just seems to go away

Hold me close

and make me believe

that i'll be okay

Take my hand

stop complaining about the colours that adorn my nails

and feel the cold of the fingers

that desperately seek and need YOUR warmth

And don't notice the kajal that smudges

beneath the eyes that hold a sea of unmeasurable pain

Take a tissue

and gently wipe my tears away

Take my heart in your hands

and gently erase the pain

that wounds it so much

heal it with your love

Wipe my pain away

as you would wipe rain drops off a car

wipe my pain away

little by little

till it reduces to almost nothing at all

Till its healed enough to hold hope for a new day
