The blood splatter dripped and pooled at the floor
       Even time slipped amidst all the gore
It's not you
    I promise
What I say is true
      He never deserved
           You

     It's not your fault
           I know for a fact
      Trust me
             You are better
          Than a boy like that

It's for the best
       Please,
    Believe me
          He'll do it to the next girl
       And the next
            And next
      You'll find your one
          In this world

        It's time to breathe
             Have faith in what
          I'm saying to you
      This might just be
                Poetry
          But I was cheated on too

It's time to believe
      You're worth more than
   You can see
           No more tears, please
      He's not worth your pain
             You're gorgeous
       And you're NOT to blame

     It's for the best,
              It's not you
          Please,
    Just Breathe.
          Believe me,
  Cause I've made it through.
         I know,
      What I say is true.
             Cause
         **I was cheated on too.
I'm here for you.

sometimes I think I wanna fall in love
but then I remember
how cold the bathroom floor
felt on my face
and how badly I wanted to rip
the heart from my chest
and how your arms are still my home
despite how many girls you have invited in
even when it was my only residence

If he cheated with you,
he's gonna cheat on you.

you smiled at me,
buried yourself in me,

I thought I knew you
ran my fingers through your hair
and breathed you in


you buried yourself in me
dug yourself under my skin

you're in my veins

burning through me like fire -
pain, but not the good kind,

I tried to like it, but it wasn't working

you vanished from my sight but
I still felt you burning through me.
heating my heart and my fingertips
in all the wrong ways


I tried to expel you - bleed you out
I cut myself open and
crimson rivers ran over my skin
yet you wouldn't leave
you are still in my veins
I have not known pain like this


I am getting there, my sweet fire
I can bleed for you in a bath
I can try to water you down.
