leave me be

you always think i'm lying

even though the truth serum

that you gave me,

(in the form of forcing myself out of my body)

has been administered in such a large dose

that it's seeping out of my eyes

 

there's a bright light shining in my eye

and i have taken the multiple blows from your words

some of which still leave imprints.

 

i tell you that i want to leave

that i want him to pack up and take me with him

because maybe then i can find some peace

in the ever turning turmoil that haunts my mind.

 

you just say,

"i don't care."

 

maybe you're too busy playing the victim

to watch me claw at my face in an attempt to get out.
