This thick, cancerous love
Bred between the apparition and I
A sight that blinds thine memory
Caught in the eyes of the beholder
Pick the scab, peel the burn
Tear the flesh between reality and fantasy
You will never be
Why can't you come home to me?
I'd pick the pieces up a thousand times over
Just to see your face again
Even bloody on the asphalt
I'd kiss your eyes, just to say goodbye.
It's not fair.
But it is ever fair?
Sometimes we scream
Our bloody protests for the forgotten
You're not just a memory...
Listen to me
Can you even hear?
My season has cycled, faded
To grey
Set on our subtle wake of realization
Breathe
Can you even speak?
Dig a little deeper this time
See and believe
Understand what you will never be
The shotgun shells scattered on your bedroom floor
I heard the cries before I reached the door
It's all in vain for the things you abhor
Haven't I been here once before?
I remember the nights you held me, I cried myself to sleep
Those secrets we shared, you were supposed to keep
Why did you have to abandon me?
Look, now you've gone and made me bleed
Doesn't it matter anymore?
I died the day they closed the coffin door.
Empty room
There's people all around
But I can't hear your voice
Silence wishing for the sound
Empty lives
There's people everywhere
But I can't see your face
Blindness searching for the stare
Empty feelings
There's people standing still
But I can't taste your lips
Weakness working for the will
Empty hearts
I'm feeling all alone
And I can't feel you near me
Your death I won't condone.
Is it sad to say
That I've gone my way
That I've turned and walked a different path?
Does it hurt to see
Faced empathy
Unable to succumb to your wrath?
Is hard to know
That I've let you go
The knife in my heart is gone?
Are you glad to be
What you've become to me?
A face of feelings withdrawn.
The sky seemed so lonely that night
The stars didn't seem as lovely
You weren't there beside me
So I writhed in subtle dark
I screamed your name
Until I had no voice
I cried and wondered
Where you were, I no longer knew
I was cased in a void
Trapped, and your were somewhere out there
Free and beautiful,
I always loved you for that
Last tormented thought:
"Please, don't leave me this way"
That was all I had left
As you turned and walked away.
How does it feel?
Now that you've broken the skin
I know you're too poisoned
To see the smile
But with the blade
Could you cut it off?
The mangled flesh
I call a heart
Could you take it?
Heal it?
Or would you just hurt me?
Tear me, use me
Do you think it's that easy?
Fuck me
Your lungs are severed
Do you realise,
The cup is half full
Of your blood
The knife's half plunged
In your skull
I've stolen your heart
Can you steal mine?
Or would you just hurt me?
Tear me, use me
Do you think it's that easy?
Fuck me
Scars that bleed
Why does it come to this?
I thought it could be so much more
But the result is something less
I am a monster; deviant
I'm fucked in the head
Ugly. Empty. Bruised.
I'm better off starved, than fed
But I've stayed too long
And I've taken too much
My good intentions? Hollow
I've ruined everything here
Use me.
Abuse me.
Fuck me.
Leave me.
Baby, don't cry
It won't hurt for long
A shot to the head
And I'll surely be gone.
