That poison is not going to heal you.
Somebody else is waiting to fall in love with you,
but you and your liver have to stay friends forever. 😉

when you’re the one to push away every person
who dares to come close.

Darkness
It’s 04:04 a.m.
I am lying here in the darkness

the ticking sound from the clock. 😐
