Scars in the Rain

Drifting further towards the edge
Slipping farther from the surface
The empty feeling in the pit of my stomach has gone away...for I've fallen too long.
Clinging desperately to my sliver of hope, I stare aimlessly into the meaningless light.
We've always been friends...
That's all we've EVER been.
We're tied together by a knot...too strong to break but still, missed chances leave holes in the rope.
When you see me, what do you SEE?
Not just my outer appearance...
What do you REALLY see?
I've always wondered.
The acid taste of your name is stained upon my whithered lips.
I cry in the dark corner of my shadowed mind...
Longing for your presence, even after you ripped my being apart...without me even being aware of the fact that you might not CARE.
Scars scatter my frail skin from trying to scrub away the putrid lies of my past in the rain.
No matter how hard i scrub, the mark never leaves...just the infected erosion remains.
Scream out my name and listen as it echos dynamically through my hollowed-out chest.
It travels right through...onto a never ending road to mutinous emotions locked in a safe that's dissolving moment by moment.
so watch me blow away in the wind, and realize too late that the girl lost in the dark is also the girl you ALMOST saved...
