Tie this red ribbon

Around my eyes
So tight that I can't see

Maybe it will squeeze away
How much you mean to me.
Pull it tighter and tighter until
My feelings fall out of my mind
And into these walls
A memory of what would never be
A love one sided, unforgiving, and untrue to you
Just take it
Take it all
Take my heart
Then take my soul
I don't know where I stand
I'm not going to understand

Take this ribbon
Wrap it tight
Tie it in knots
I'll win this time
Make me fall
Make me crawl
You've already done
So much worse to me
Break me
Shake me
Push me down

I just want to

Stop waiting for you to come around

Take this ribbon
Remove it from my eyes
Cut it into to pieces
Burn it
Throw it
Just so it's no longer in my sight
Written in 2004.
