Untitled #44

I've been lying through my teeth
Of pain, of pleasure, everything in between
I overthink, barricade in my own skin
Let no one reach, get underneath;

Cause it's easier to drown alone
In this abyss of my own thoughts,
Easier to not be known, to be lost
(Don't know if you'd even care that I'm gone);

And I've tried each time we touch,
But I wonder if letting you in is the same
As letting you in, 
Because it's not enough anymore, not enough; 

I'd labelled you home, and we
Made me, gave me, these four walls
But they're heavy, and they're tall,
And they're weighing me down..;

But if I let go of it all, will you still love me? 
Will I live? Would you call?
Or would you let me drown..? 
I'm already halfway down.
