Everytime you hurt yourself

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.
