Time will take you, I know
from the memories in my mind
It saddens and relieves me
all at once and at the same time
No right to be there
when they're gone they'll be briefly missed
the pain they once delivered
like venom held within a kiss
Each time they touched me
a little poison ran through my veins
it changed and rearranged me
I wondered if I'd ever feel the same
Coursing through my bloodstream
like a virus in its perfect form
corroding and scarring my insides
leaving parts of me damaged and torn
My body has struggled to recover
defending a self destructive force
It lives within my mind
and inhabits dark corners of my thoughts
I'll try not to miss you
but it's hard to release it completely
I don't know what will fill that space
if you ever really leave me
