Lyssrambles - I Was Born A Ramblin' Girl

I miss you You miss me Yet we keep missing each other

Outgrowing pain, shedding it

Slithering from the dried brittle remnants

I have been imprisoned for far too long

Pieces still missing, still growing

But grow they will

I may never again be whole

But I am no longer broken

Dolly

I am your dolly You pull me down from my shelf    when you’ve nothing better to do To manipulate and pose me To play pretend Until another toy    catches your eye Then back I go Lifeless and empty    on my shelf

You break my heart   not because you don’t love me  But because you don’t love yourself

I don't know that I've ever heard a more apt turn of phrase than "consumed by depression"

It swallows me whole without remorse and I wonder if this is the time I am truly consumed

I tell you I love you All you can say is “Why?”

You break my heart   not because you don’t love me  But because you don’t love yourself
