Everytime you hurt yourself
Everytime you hurt
yourself it makes
me think that
you are trying
to kill yourself.
Everytime you tell
me you were
in another fight
it makes me
think what if
you are one
that you cannot
get out of in time.
Everytime I tell
you how much
I care for you.
Everytime I wonder
if it even
matters that I am
trying to save you
because I care about you.
Everytime you hurt
yourself it hurts me
inside and I think
about what could
happen one day
when I am not
there for you.
Everytime you think
about hurting yourself
think about the
one that cares
and does not
want to go too soon.
