blistered, forgotten, pushed to the ground
cold nights i've clawed at my face
consciousness, well-being
yet have you still called my name?
your old words still heavy from when i ruined your comfort
my heart still, your lips soft
begging, i face my only love
oh, i forgot you left
fading
you still don't have sympathy
i can't bare this
i was alone, i am alone
nothing's changed.
feigned compassion, feigned forgiveness.
every single thing that comes from my mouth starts with an "i"
such a selfish piece of shit.
rip the veins from my arms and my legs.
wrap them around my neck.
tie it tight, it's alright.
i could never hurt myself more than you hurt me.
