your eyes are hollow
and your mouth is set

you don't seem to notice
your heart leaking out of your chest

and the trail of blood is miles long
snaking past years of agony

that you dare not tread on

I take your heart and hold it out to you

you are not mine and you never were
my hands are singed by the holiness of your essence

but the pain is numb to me and you are all I feel

take this from me
I don't want it

your name breaks hearts upon my lips and
I am too weak to carry the empty love

my paper spine breaks at each end
though I had already collapsed

i've killed myself and
i haven't even loved you yet
