go ahead and peel my heart

break it down from the start,

leaking promises of how

dark desires plead even now

to your translucent eyes

aching to be your prize.

those words i told you

were never true,

even when you believed

your affections i received,

i just threw them out

so you wouldn’t pout,

at seeing your love lying

under the rug, dying.

i hope you were attached to them

so you can bleed under the bed's hem,

gasping for my attention,

i'll leave you there and not mention

your existence to a single soul,

you'll no longer be whole.

just pieces like me

just what i wanted you to be.
