every single word you say weighs more than i can take.
every single phrase is laced with poison.
every question mark, exclamation point, semicolon? razor blades.

and i've never been the strong one.
that always fell on your shoulders.
and i've never been one to pick at scabs.
i hate the mess.

so i'll just lay here, and bleed all over your floor.
your favorite color is red,
and i know you like me dead.
so i'm doing you a favor, really.

you're welcome.
