Self-destructing 

I’m really having a hard time on my own over here
Haven’t you noticed?
My chest is hurting
Heart is breaking
But you’re sitting over there barely speaking
Glance my way once
That’s all I beg of you
I’m not an attention seeker
But goddamn don’t treat me like furniture either
I can barely breathe
Holding back tears
And an urge to rip my skin apart
I’m struggling to stay alive
I don’t think I want to anymore
Can’t you just notice?
Can’t you see the tears in my eyes when I smile
Hold on to me and tell me to stay strong
That things will get better
Can’t you do that for me?
Can’t you tell me that everything is okay?
Tell me something that’ll stop me from self destructing
Just tell me anything
I just want to know that you’re there for me
Please

    1. Thank you very much. I should have said this before, though it was poor planning on my behalf, but a lot of my writing is largely fictional. I genuinely apologise for any misunderstandings, and thank you very much for your kind words once again

      1. You know I never assume something is autobiographical, yet, if I feel someone hurting I feel like I need to let them know someone cares. Testament to you that I was feeling that despite you not feeling it in the moment. Good writing.
