hat am I doing? I keep touching my mouth Remembering where you used to press yours against mine But my fingers are poisoned with pills I couldn’t tell you about They burn my skin and wash the sadness away from my body In ugly currents that blotch my skin and send me red raw From scratching with those nails you used to hate But loved when we were ******* I’m so scared I’ll speak to you I can’t control my hands anymore, they get shakier every day To the point where I think of you running through my veins I can’t hold my cup anymore I wont ruin your life again If theres one thing I’m good at Its chasing people away like they were cats on your windowsill They cry and fight to be let in But my windows are so locked tight Cold to touch that no one can look through them I’ve convinced myself that this is for me But I’m so sad How could anyone let themselves think like this on purpose Unless it was for someone that deserved to wake in the morning I hope you wake up one day And you forget my name.
