So Down

I don't want to be a burden
I don't want to be alone
I just seem to keep falling
Through no fault of my own

Soft words fall on deafened ears
Echoes in my fragile shell
So numb with no feelings
And so unable to tell

I can't see my way forward
I keep slipping away,
Simply trying is not enough
I won't give in this way

There's a light I can follow on
But my way is damned,
If I can't find the path ahead
Won't stay till I end

Let's sit here for a while
I'll try to crack a smile
I want you here, but I'm not sure
Take my hand, will you lead?
Dress my wounds, so I won't bleed
I think we've been through this before

When I'm so down, you're not around
I now know I don't need you here
My broken mind will someday find
A way to hold my dearest near

Who said this isn't murder?
That's just how it feels to me
