It’s been awhile since you’ve been around
Not a sound in the air
No letter in the mail
It’s been awhile since I had thoughts of suicide
The idea still haunts me at times
Taunting me, teasing me, pushing me to do the deed
It’s been awhile since I opened my skin with a razor blade
I still feel the tingle of pain the razor made
There are days when I want to continue, saying a few more scars will eventually fade
It’s been awhile since I’ve been myself
It’s hard to remember who I once was
So many walls built up, I’ll never find my way out
It’s been awhile since I’ve felt happiness
People tell me that I was once happy, but I’m not so sure
I’ve seen happiness on TV, but never once have I seen it in me
Author notes
The first part is about my dad who left along time ago
