I’ve laid my feelings
at your feet
All right, I’m spent,
you’ve won again
Cut my finger off to
trace these letters just for you
Bleeding blue
Fading through
Your warm façade
Beaten at the game I
taught you how to play
Exsanguinate my heart,
I’m too numb to feel
Fairy tales were
falsified
Eviscerate my mind
The nightmares never
change
You decorated hell and
made it more like home
Before you shoved me in
and locked the door
Walked away, and never
knew the mess you made
I extinguished
everything myself
I made it out and never
once did call for help
But left that part of
me behind
You picked my shredded
heart up off the street
Smashed into a thousand
pieces by some truck
Glued it all right back
together, bought me scar remover
Track me down
Perhaps you’ve come
around
Returned my mended life
right back to me
Bought your words for
99 cents at the dollar store
Pasted them on your
pre-made valentine
Because you knew I
hated hallmark cards
Now I’m bemused
And you’ve been used
Perhaps the tables have
been turned
The difference is that now I’m numb to all your burns.
