Tears for Ash

Hopeless Dark
I might just be
That fucked up girl
That you all talk about.
But when the darkness
Closes in
You all seek me out.
You never even thought to ask
Why I never leave this place
Or why I only
Walk with you at night
When I can’t see your face.
You cant justify to yourself
Why I do the things I do
Or why sometimes I disappear
For days and days on end.
I may be stuck here
In the hopeless dark
But when you fall
onto my ground
I’ll show you the way out.
I would rather
Drift farther into the night
Than tell you what I need.
Even if I asked you too
Would you share
your bed with me?
Would you let me cry
In your arms
So I could feel safe ?
Would you give a few days
Of your time
And help me sort it out?
Or would it be too much to ask
For you to care like that.
Would you help me
Fight off the ghosts
That follow me around?
Would you try and understand?
Or would you walk away from me
And leave me without light.
Would you even
Want to know
The secrets that I keep,
And what people can be capable of
When desperation sets in ?
Are you really my friend ?
What would you give up
To help me
Or do you even care ?
Would it be worth the risk
To lead me to the light
Or are you scared
That you would lose your way ?
Would you help pull me
From the mouth of hell
Or would you walk away?
