good intentions turn bad?

I want to shield you from all evil,

but there's nowhere we can hide.

If the worse is by your side,

I'll get my axe and kill it.

But...

What can I do if the demon is in me?

What can I do to make you see...

the real murderer in me?

Who have I murdered? 

I murdered myself. 

I was the prey, and I was the wolf. 

I killed my innocence,

I killed my love.

I chose the wrong way.

It has been done and I can never revert it.

Or can I? 

I was the bomb and I threw myself away.

A friend for show

When you ask me why I'm sad, 
it becomes difficult to tell. 
But before I let the words out,
you tell me how hard you fell. 
It's just a general question,
it means nothing to you.
All you care about is
reacting to my problems
 by saying "Me too!"
Don't you realise how heartless it seems? 
You ask me why I'm so loud, 
only to pause and scream. 
You make my problems seem negligible,
by saying "oh that's so relatable!"

If you are so self centered,
continue being so.
I'll remember you as the friend 
who cared about me just for show.
