I can't place a blanket over you anymore, I can't love you like this July cold, the cold air presses such icy kisses on my cheeks, but when I think of you, all I can do is seethe.
I never wanted you to be this crimson scar I hold in my chest, I never thought you'd be a suffocation of all the best.
You paint me in shades of red regret, and I wonder how long this rage will cling to me and when it'll make a cemetery in my heart for all the words I haven't said yet.
You wore me like jewellery and I was yours while times were golden, but in your misery it seems you've forgotten who I am to you and what I'm trying to do.
And I don't know if I can stay, or if I should just turn my face away.
