Why is it when it comes down to it you can’t even help me
Get me what I need to just to live
Why can’t you understand what I’m going through
When you kill my ears with your words
No matter what help we get it will never be the same
Why should I even try anymore
I’ll be gone within the year
You won’t have anything left to worry about
Without me around you don’t have to turn red
You don’t have to deal with all my flaws
You don’t have to listen to my music drowning me out
Or watch me hide in my room until you leave
These tears that fall are your levels of anger
They drip until they get too heavy and hit the floor
I hope you’re happy

Wow.
I'm sorry about the fight.
I can tell you were most likely angry while writing this.
And I can sense your emotions.
I can relate to this.
Check out my piece.."Remind Me While I'm still here"
