You know I’m hurting.
I told you I was on the edge.
What? You say “I’m sorry”,
And leave me on the ledge.
What the hell, man,
I thought you were here
But now I see, they’re words
Empty sounds for me to hear.
I’m in pain, man,
I feel like I’m dying.
I wish I was dead, man,
What? You think I’m lying?
You haven’t checked on me.
I thought we were friends.
It’s words, man, just words
Just a text that you send.
You’re so pathetic.
You act like you’re above the noise,
But dammit man,
You’re just a selfish void.
Its words, just words,
Words and words, that’s it
You’ve got no actions.
You’re a freaking hypocrite.
I’m lying on the floor
Soaked with sweat and tears,
Curled up in a ball,
Clutching my knees to my ears.
You don’t even care,
You don’t give me a single thought
Each day goes by, I know,
Everything was for naught.
Why though? Man,
I know I don’t matter.
Why don’t I matter?
Man, why don’t I matter!?
I’m nothing to you.
I get it, I fully understand
Your life is more important
I’m nothing, I just am.
Don’t act like you care
When you clearly don’t
I’m fine, I’ll be fine
Even though I probably won’t.
It’s fine. I’m fine
Just go on about your life.
I’m fine, it’s fine
I don’t need to know why.
You know I’m hurting.
I told you I was on the edge.
What? You say “I’m sorry”,
And leave me on the ledge…

This is a great poem and would be an equally great song.
