I'm Not Enough

Bashful Liar.

The world is evil,

You took the walls inside my heart the day you left.

Under my eyelids are your initials,

I wake up,

Only to think about you.

I used sharp glass to carve our date on my forearm,

I sent my veins the wrong message.

My good weaves all have doubt,

They vent on paper when I write forever,

my veins notice as I smoke.

My smile was light to your eyes,

as your eyes would light,

My eyes would tear with joy.

Catching that same guilty taste on my tongue.

 

I'm walking down the fishing pier at this moment,

I'll dip the jar I have been using to save the tears I shed for you,

I'm watching them go down into the water now,

Like my body going towards hell,

when it dies because of you.
