The Questions of Your Words

You tell me to just let it go and forgive,

Yet whenever I try, you remind me of my sins,

I just want to let it go.

But you can’t help but call me crazy,

Say that you can’t save me,

Am I really that far gone?

“Of course not, baby”

But do you really mean it if the next day you’re yellin’ at me for bleedin’?

For grieving who I used to be?

Like I want to be in pain,

Like I’m the one to blame,

Now you’re callin’ me insane.

“You’re wrong, Daniela”

Do my eyes deceive?

So what to believe?

You with blind trust?

“I did it out of love.”

So what is love?

And what is life?

Am I a mistake?

Or did I just stray?

    It’s only been a few days and sadness feels so far away

    This feeling, it isn’t salvation

    The girl who used to scream for others pains is shut out

    She fights to be free, to make me suffer for something I don’t feel nor control

  • Still Here

    Did you ever know how much your pain hurt me?

    That it haunted my sleep?

    That I tried to feel it?

    That I cared even then?
