If your hand could reach inside my heart, what would you do with it?
Would you poke it with a finger?
Caress it with you palm?
Stab your claws in the muscle!
Or pull it out so I’ll fall?
I wish you would leave it alone
It’s painful enough just having
You close
Close enough to touch it
So back away
Stay away
Leave my heart alone
And left me drift away
Back to that place where my heart is caged...
:)
(What I think every time I say I’m “fine”)
(TW mention of Selfharm and su!c!de)
You know at this point I’m ready to give up.
Imagine a world where the time goes by extremely fast yet you’re anxious about the future. You don’t even realize it’s Sunday since you just got up right? Oh wait it’s actually Monday already?! Oh I slept in till 1 pm I suppose the day is practically over. What...
If you reached inside my heart, what would you do with it?
If you saw all the ugly underneath,
Of you saw all the things I never wanted you to see,
Would you still love me?
Would you stay by my side?
Or would you run away,
Leaving me with the broken pieces you left behind.
Would you look at me with pity?
To see a poor girl,
Lost and afraid,
Someone who lost their way,
Someone who became all they v...
If your hand could reach inside my heart, what would you do with it?
Would you go towards the dark and try to bring light ?
Fix all the broken pieces that once shown so bright.
Is to mend a broken soul what you tend to do?
No.
To grip my heart and pull it out of my chest.
Kiss my lips as my soul lays to rest.
A grin from ear to ear.
Satisfied.
A look so sincere.
But yet you only wis...
If your hand could reach inside my heart,
Would you mend each crack, each scar?
Would you hold the fragile parts,
Or leave them open, raw, ajar?
Would you trace the pathways deep,
Where shadows dwell and secrets keep?
Would you gather all the dreams,
And stitch them into hopeful seams?
If your touch could soothe the pain,
Would you let the tears remain?
Would you find the broken threads,
And wea...
If your hand could reach inside my heart,
What would you do with it?
Would you strangle my poor heart
Until there’s an angry fire lit?
Or would you hold it so tenderly
With gentleness and care?
Perhaps you would steal it and hide it
Down in the devil’s lair
Maybe none of those things
Are what you would do
But all I ask is to my heart
Be true...
if your hand could reach inside my heart,
what would you do with it?
you painted me pictures of heaven
as fresh as the spring walks we went on
as warm as the hugs you gave me
as sweet as the kisses we shared
holding hands turned into family dinners
and what stayed was the way that my head just so perfectly fit in that one spot on your shoulder
i tried to stay distant and take things slow
yet ...
They and he and he and she
Xe and zem ruining me
Pronouns and labels as far as the eye can see
But she and he and ey/em/eir
Seem to be ruining my whole goddamn year
Bigender and trigender
Transgender and whatever-the-hell-gender
Agender and and fluid gender
And hit-my-head-against-a-wall-gender
So many genders, All around me
But which one out there could I really be?
Too feminine,
Too masc,
T...
If your hand could reach inside my heart, what would you do with it?
Would you hold it real tight and never let me go?
Or would crush it in your palm without mercy to show?
Would you keep my heart safe?
Undamaged and okay?
Would you leave it on the ground?
Broken and astray?
When the world starts to feel cold,
Will you even care?
Would you help me find the warmth when I’m struggling to?
Would you ...
