Save Me

Save me

Not from demons or monsters
that are hidden inside closets
(and even human hearts)
or even from this world
that continues to grow hopeless
but save me from myself,
only if you think you can
handle me at my worst though

With a raised voice
and arms swinging,
eyes glaring at anyone
that walks past,
the looks will kill

All my innocence is gone,
cliche, but true
my heart is tainted now,
due to my own
hatefulness, ****iness,
stubbornness, selfishness
nothing can help

Wounds are too deep
healing is impossible,
as the darkness
blocks the last of
my only light
my hope is broken,
my trust, forgotten

Save me
voice breaking,
heart stopping,
eyes closed,
to afraid to open
for fear of what
I'll see inside

A heart too contaminated
and a mind too pessimistic
neither one to become
what either was before
