you took my heart, hung it on your wall
smeared it with your ashtray fingers
told me she was beautiful.
♥
gripping my chest, your hands still hurt
as they weave up and down
ripping me up until i won't work, anymore
♥
lost the only piece of me i gave you
till your dirtyman footprints squashed
my body into your eyes, cold empty blue.
♥
i spent a fortune to exorcise your ghost
that still haunts my empty ribcadge
but not even burning you comes close
to saving me.
♥
so stitch me up with fairy tale endings
colour merose petal pretty to
stop the kichen knife defending, my
teardrop, unhealed skin.
♥
because
♥
as long as your there
my feather-weight gram of sanity
is suffocating. and i would beg, beg
beg of you to leave me alone
if i could lift my head
high enough.
