I sew my wounds shut myself
And every time the neddles passes through
I curse your name
I know I shouldn't blame you
But I haven't the courage to blame myself
And I know it's not your fault
But it's so much easier to say it's yours
So I'll keep on screaming your name
Every time my body hurts
And I'll think of you when
My bones break and my skin bursts open
I'll see you in every shadow
And I'll lace every cigarette
With the image of your face

And I'll keep blaming you
Untill I can finally blame myself
But for now
Here's to you
You've turned my heart cold again

As a child I told myself
I'd never hurt again

Be here I am
At 3 am
Stone cold in my bed
Waiting for the sun to rise
Waiting for some hint
That a new day has started
And I'll be reborn again
Until then I have the night with me
It's velvet dark engulfs me in waves of sadness

I don't think I've ever felt this way before
I must have never
Seen someone like you
Because at 3 am
You're all I think about
And it burns me with a bitter rage
A rage that screams "I've lost you"
And the hardest part
Is trying to figure out
If I want you back
Or if I should let you fade away

We play with silence like a child
plays with a rubber band -
we stretch it and bend it until
it breaks, or until we tire
of the same old game.
If only that was the only childish fun we had.
My stem has grown bent and ugly

And my petals have holes

From diseased bugs that have nibbled on my precious silk

My leaves are dry and tinted yellow

And my pollen is putrid and stale


---


I watch the other flowers grow green and tall around me

Their blooms burst and **** the eye with colour

Passersby stand still

Mesmorized by the utter beauty of my poison friends

They pick and pick and pick at them

Their petals full

Their pollen intoxicating every hand that touched them

Yet I stood bent

Still rooted and hoping to be plucked

But they spit on me

And the other flowers laughed

I was useless in their world


---


So I wilted faster and knelt closer to the ground

I slowly fell

Each piece of my body decayed and went back to the ground

And I sprung up weeks later

Among all the perfect blooms


---


I was reborn a ****

Much bigger than the pretties beside me

Yet they still laughed

So I grew

And I ate their sun

And I breathed in all their air

Now they're wilting faster than I ever did

They'll soon be gone

And i'll be the only one left

But I guess it doesn't matter anyway

They still pass by without even a glance

It seems it was all in vain

Because I'm wilting

It's that burning sensation in my chest
That let's me know
That you were never there
And you never will be
And every spark we made
Would lead to embers
And all those embers
Caused a blaze
We burnt this ******* house down
And every memory went with it
Nothing was left
Absolutely
*Nothing
