inside

By Ivy Collier •
crawling inside my mind like you want to know me,
do you really think it wise, boy?
do you really want to see the mess I've made?
I'm scared enough to run,
and broke enough to stay.
while burning in my skin I wait for you,
sleeping on a bed of lies
in an empty room for an empty heart.
turn your thoughts to me for a moment,
and I will close my mind.
close your eyes tight, love,
'cause the truth hurts like hell.
