Truth is you
weren't blameless
I saw your eyes
flash red that night
the fire in your palms
wouldn't burn out.
Together we were
a suicide pact,
there was something
about the drug in
each others eyes
that made us want
to overdose.
We itched like
razor blades
on each others skin,
our tongues a noose,
heartbeats fast,
furious.
My hands bled love
my knuckles
bruised like skies
I puked up every word
until I could finally
say goodbye.

heartbeats fast,

My hands bled love
my knuckles
bruised like skies
I puked up every word
until I could finally
say goodbye.
