Broken Bones and Hearts

 they don't send ambulances for broken hearts

only broken bones

and i think that's why people try to kill themselves so often

because no one will come unless

their outside appearance has been ruined

when my ribcages have been suffocating my heart for 5 years now

except no one can see 

they will only see my waist getting smaller

and my face getting paler

my eyes slowly sinking

my arms have new scars

from the nights when i'm not talking 

until i have the iv stuck in my arm

and when they ask where it hurts

i can tell them my insides

because there's no longer anything in it

and then, maybe, 

they'll believe me.
