Under Her Skin

Because self harm is a serious topic and a serious issue, so I created this set.

Under her skin

Is a beautiful soul.

She's trying so hard

But she just can't let it go.

Crushed

Because I was feeling crushed, so I created this set.

Crushed,

Like a bug on the ground.

Crushed,

Oh, how I hate that sound.

Crushed,

As my heart hits the ground.

Crushed,

As I find no one around.

Crushed,

As I find myself all alone.

Crushed,

As my voice cracks on the phone.

Crushed,

As I fall for a landing.

Crushed,

As I find myself no longer standing.

Crushed,

As the world is so demanding.

Crushed,

And the pain is outstanding.

Holes in My Heart

Because I have holes in my heart that can never be completely filled, so I created this set.

I have holes in my heart--

So many empty spots.

It's hard to love them all,

When you're the one they forgot...

It's hard fitting in--

So many different locations.

Every new place,

Seems like a different vocation.

New faces,

New names,

Until time

Erases them all.

Or even worse,

I remember them all.

And time always rushes--

It never stalls.

So many holes in my heart--

And every wound hurts.

She lived a lonely life--

As an endless flirt.

I have holes in my heart--

But that's nothing new.

I couldn't fill it up,

Even if I wanted to.

Trust me, I've tried--

I've even cried.

The pain never ends--

It only subsides.

I have holes in my heart--

Why should I leave it intact?

I'd much rather take it out,

As a matter of fact.

Hollow

Because I was feeling hollow and empty, so I created this set.

Hollow look,

Empty eyes,

A broken heart--

A web of lies.

Empty words,

Yet still kind.

A shallow heart--

A fragile mind.

Distant,

Yet still polite.

No longer an angel--

She's lost her light.

Torn in two--

And not the same.

And one con artist--

Takes all the blame.

Earth Shattering

Because I was having a bad day and I felt like the ground that I was standing on was shaking, so I created this set.

My body aches--

So, my heart is breaking.

My smile looks real--

But I'm only faking.

My feet stands still--

But the ground is shaking.

Only When I'm Happy...

Because I've lost a bit of my inspiration, so I created this set.

They only love me when I'm happy--

So many have disappeared...

It's okay darlings,

I keep those who care near.

They only love me when I'm happy--

Which makes me really sad.

I can't help it that sometimes,

My days get really bad...

They only love me when I'm happy--

I'm not blind, I can tell.

I can see the difference,

And when the numbers fell...

They only love me when I'm happy--

It's okay, I understand.

But there's only so much,

That I can withstand.

They only love me when I'm happy--

They disappear when I'm sad.

I suppose it's my fault,

And for that I feel bad.

They only love me when I'm happy--

And I guess that's alright.

But I can't fake my happiness,

Not today, not tonight.

They only love me when I'm happy--

So, it's time for me to go.

I love you my loyal darlings,

I just thought I'd let you know.

They only love me when I'm happy--

So, it's time for me to disappear.

Don't worry darlings,

I'll come back and reappear. ;)

It's All Left Broken

Because it's hard to fix a broken heart, so I created this set.

A broken heart,

A broken mirror,

Trying to fix it?

Leave it broken.

Pick up the pieces?

Or leave them scattered?

Put myself back together?

Or does it matter?

Try again?

Maybe tomorrow?

Maybe then,

I'll lose my sorrow.
