"We're here for you."
"You're not alone."
"You will always have me."
"We understand what you're going through."
When it's 3:00 am
And my self-hatred claws its way up my throat
Ripping itself from my lungs
In a silent wail
I am alone.
When my pulse hammers its way through my skin
And out into the open
There is no one
To nail it back in
I am alone.
When the only real thing is
The sparkling diamonds running down my face
I am alone.
You all say you are there, but you're not
I. Am. Alone.
