You borrowed into me
diving harder, deeper.
I willingly gave into you
Always falling faster.
You hollowed out my core
I allowed it even still
as you fed on my vibrancy
making me dim and obsolete.
I fell into the background
there only to make you stand out.
I lived and breathed for you
slowly let you **** me
only because I loved you.

When you left me,
it was like ripping the meat from my bones.
The air in my lungs replaced by water
it was all I could do not to drown.
I didn't know how to live without you.
That's the sickening beauty of your game.
Without you I didn't want to.
I became a hollow shell
nothing to see behind my eyes
smile held up by safety pins.
Too broken to even cry
I couldn't shed a single tear.
You weren't there to tell me to.
I'm marionette on strings
and even in your absence
you're somehow still playing me.
I cannot seem to let you go.
You're the reason I want to live.
So I'll sit here waiting on the shelf
hoping someday you'll grow bored
and come to play me once more.
