In complete darkness
I live in the shadow of life
I hide from the world
For fear of its judgement
And condemnation
My sadness strikes a chord
Of grief inside me
I am trapped in my mind
Torned into pieces
My bruises will never heal
I am dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Please don't take him away from me
Let me keep my friend
"I love him" I will say
Without him I will end
The world
Drains of color
Black mourning in my eyes
Too many times
I've stared death in the eye
So close
I could fear his cold
Stagnant breath on my cheeks
His skeletal fingers
Fingering my lank thinning hair
Ed
Ed he calls
I've come to lick your bones
clean
The weakness inside me
Keeps reminding me I am nothing
Nothing without you
You're my obsession
I love you to the bones
My hated blooms like a pale rose
As I reap the sorrow that life sews
My fingers down my throat is home to me
You other people are too blind to see
As Miss Perfection inside me sits and smirks
As I lie here curled up on the floor
Crying, begging, pleading no more
It is you Ed, my dearest friend
Who makes me wish my life would end
How can you make me feel such love such hate?
I am in constant fear of gaining weight
But you and I will never part
I hate you Ed with all my heart
