i wish i could make you disappear from my mind
- i'm no magician

saying i love you
to get you to stay
was like burning my
tongue on a sip of black coffee


-its scorching me

every time i see you, it's like looking into the sun
- it hurts

how do i pick my poison?
when loving you, and leaving you
are both equally toxic.

loving you was indeed a car crash
you hit me so hard i could feel the glass shards
of my heart shattering all around me
i could feel the pieces sticking into my skin
you left me with broken bones and dents

i didn't wake up one morning
and decide to stop loving you
i'd never be that cruel

i bought the brightest colors of bandages from the drug store,
i put them all over the the scrapes you left on my skin.
i wrote on top of them with a sharpie.
all the words you said, so everyone knows why i’m hurt.
