I relapsed
and went deeper then I should've
the blood spilling all over the concrete floor
the blade finding its way to the vein
I failed
and said more then I should've
the words spewing all down his bare chest
the secrets escaping my ever so careful tongue
I lied
and went farther then I should've
the clothes falling to the overseeing floor
the hands grasping for something he could never give
I cried
and screamed louder then I should've
the sobs echoing the empty hallways of a broken home
the tears falling from a heart heavy with shame and pain
I left
and closed the door harder then I should've
the handle thrown out of an angry hand
the frame shaking with the rage of a girl who
went father then she should've
