Your cold body is contorted on the soft carpet Spurts of thick blood come from the heart I have carved out of your chest My warm fingers bare the scarlet stain as evidence of what I’ve done And no amount of scrubbing can take it away
I’ve become a paralyzed creature, who doesn’t understand how to respond I played around with the heaviest words in my vocabulary Not realizing the power that they had Unaware that I was unready to say them
I never loved you; at the time I thought the feeling was there Now you lie unresponsive As I slowly walk away from the mess I’ve made And leave you in the past The words I used to stab at your heart, the words I didn’t mean, echoing in my mind “I love you”
