The best things in life are unseen, that&#039;s why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream.<br /> What doesn&#039;t kill you, only makes you stronger.

I like when you cry
Let your flaws trickle out
I like when you break down
No so strong, are you now?
I like when your skin
Bleeds through your shirt
I like when the mirror
Hurts your eyes for sure
I like when you drink
The truth breaks through instead
I like when the drugs
Takeover your head
I like when you torture
Your pretty little self
I like when they see
Your life is a hell
I like when you fade
Innocence replaced with pain and lies
Can’t take the girl you’ve turned into
I like when you die

For all those girls who can't take the perfection. It's hard to believe, but no one's perfect. Everyone hurts, even when you can't see it.
