I see you every time
I close my eyes
And I can’t seem to
Get you outta my mind.
The constant flow of tears
Down my cheeks and the
Tears forming in my eyes
Year after year reminds me
Of all the pain you’ve
Brought me
And all the pain
I’ve brought to myself
Trying to deal with
Your ******** but
No matter how hard I try
You’re stuck in my mind
Like duct tape and
Every time I try to peel
You off smoothly
You cut deeper until
I bleed more like
A child picking at
His scab over
And over again
Even though his mom tells
Him to stop every time but
He keeps doing it because
It annoys the hell outta him
And picking at the scab
Makes the itchiness go away
For only a second and then
The itchiness, the urge comes back
And you can’t help but
Scratch it again until
It bleeds again and until
You need to scratch it again.
You are my heart’s scab that
Annoys the hell outta me and
I can’t help but scratch it and
Pick at it until my heart bleeds
