do not tell them about the times I tore my limbs apart do not tell them about the ache I encountered when he spoke do not tell them about how I fed him every part of me until I was nothing but a pool of clocks gliding down the pavement do not tell them about the times I couldn't bring myself to look in the mirror in the fear of taking what was his do not tell them about how my hands shook at the sound of the clock ticking do not tell them how long I waited for him to open the door do not tell them how I didn't feel worth it without being told every passing minute do not tell them how i was nothing without him tell them about the nights I fought to gain my own skin tell them about how hard I pulled to rip my rotting body from his tell them how I fought for sanity at 4 am after 2 days without sleep or food tell them how I smiled my way through every heartbreaking text and told everyone it was from no one tell them he was no one tell them my fight was the ultimate one tell them although I appeared weak, I had a skull of armour and bulletproof lungs

Pools with scars
do not tell them about the times I tore my limbs apart do not tell them about the ache I encountered when he spoke do not tell them about how I fed him every part of me until I was nothing but a pool of clocks gliding down the pavement do not tell them about the times I couldn't bring myself to look in the mirror in the fear of taking what was his do not tell them about how my hands shook at the sound of the clock ticking do not tell them how long I waited for him to open the door do not tell them how I didn't feel worth it without being told every passing minute do not tell them how i was nothing without him tell them about the nights I fought to gain my own skin tell them about how hard I pulled to rip my rotting body from his tell them how I fought for sanity at 4 am after 2 days without sleep or food tell them how I smiled my way through every heartbreaking text and told everyone it was from no one tell them he was no one tell them my fight was the ultimate one tell them although I appeared weak, I had a skull of armour and bulletproof lungs
