Death stares exchanged
Muscles spring loaded
*Explosion, slide, safe!

Crash!  Boom!  Stomp!
Warlike scream bellows
Fierce knees and elbows

I would rather die by your hands
than live outside your grasp
Even after you push away
I come crawling back

Like a fortune cookie
We must break
To discover something
We should have
Already known

You asked if I was okay
I said I was fine
But you didn't think twice
About leaving my side

But I'm not okay
I need you here
Because the wretched night
Brings out my darkest fears

Thousands of
Messages
But none mean
A **** thing
Anymore

Baby tell me all about your life
I don't mind if it is a long story
For you, I have all the time

Show me the marks on your arm
Where your cruel forbearer
Laid his fist

Show me the lines under your bracelets
Where you dragged the blade
Across your wrist

Don't hide the painful memories
For every wound I will heal
As I kiss

The sorrow wraps around me
Like a noose around my neck
Making me unable to speak
As painful thoughts play
Like a record stuck on repeat
