I Need...

Can't you hear me yelling?
I've been calling out your name
Trying to make you listen
Because you aren't the one to blame

I need help
Its not you
I'm messed up
You don't have a clue

Every time I try
You just turn away
You say nothings wrong with me
That I'll be better the next day

But I know in my heart
That I am not okay
No matter what you want to think
No matter what you say

I need medication
My brain is a mess
I've already begun to break
From all the nagging stress

My eyes always burn
From my countless tears
My heart is iced over
From pain all these years

I need you now more than ever
I need you to be there
I need to know someone will hold me
I need to know you care

Can't you hold me close?
I need to be in your arms
I need to know you'll keep me safe
From my own self harm.
