You Won't Let Me

As much as I want to.

As much as I know I can.

You wont let me.

You don't care, but you wont let me

I want to do it so bad.

I want to end it all and leave you to rot,

But you wont let me.

 

I want to do it with my knives;

Drive them deep into my arm

And pull them out

Watch my blood pool like the ocean we swam in.

See the highways of my arteries

Just like the ones we used to ride on.

Look in the mirror and see my face

The same face I made when you said

We are over.

 

But do you know what 2 years does to me?

It eats me alive like the sushi we used to eat.

It ***** me over like all the friends I used to have

It makes me sick to my stomach

It rips my senses out

It rips the me out of me

 

I can't function when you are gone,

But when you are present

Whether that be in messages

In like, In love

I always know you're there

Staring at me

Waiting for my next move

So just when I do something good

You can eat me alive once more
