You steal me from myself
I can’t help but love it
Bec Aug 2019
Why can’t you give me the same attention I give you?
How is a cellphone more important, a nap more important?
I just want to go back to being myself before I met you.
I liked that person.
That person had ideas, dreams and goals.
You took them over.

Your silence slices me open
I roll the dice
I want to see tears in your eyes
Instead you just stay quiet
I just wanna reach those
Who have spent their entire life
feeling like they are nobody to anybody
Did you feel the edge of a knife
Pressed to your skin
while your friends
search for their excuses
in their expensive purses
They curve you
Like a teacher who just got laid
Curves your grade
Yeah, I have a lot more words to say
& they say they are pressed for time
Well I’m telling you,
tongues are heavy
because I've held mine
long enough
For the time being
I know I’m not enough
So for now, I'm going to stuff it
and just shut up
This is for you. You know who you are. The one who feels the same pain I do everyday.

How do you write my thoughts on your piece of paper?
I realize you’re reading my mind in the future
I wanna see my heart evolve from the cataclysm of emotion and love
But my emotional heart doesn’t exist
It has yet been replaced by cement
My blood doesn’t flow like it used to
It floods my thoughts

I can’t keep having you behind me
You’re telling me what I’m seeing
Isn’t really what I’m seeing
I hear what you’re saying
Maybe
I say baby
Can’t we do this another day?
I let you wash over me like the rain
My emotional pain
Seems like your gain
Somedays

After death, no resurrection
A statement you recanted
The damage has been done
Faith is a loaded gun
A finicky one

You didn’t even bring your bible
All you’re capable of is watching cable
They feed you lies
Eat your burgers
Order your fries
Don't know you’re a cannibal?
A base-less, soulest animal
What more do you want to know?
I’ll show you
How far the rabbit hole goes
Just look at your label
I wear mine
Your is designer
Mine is my design
You never paid the price
Of the words on your jealous noses
You took the name
I chewed it up
I spit it out
In the face of every nameless, faceless stranger I pass by
You sip your coffee
I type promises of love
I taught myself the meaning of the word
I spent all my free-time reading the dictionary of your heart
