locked from the outside

by @iatstits

soft click and the turn of a deadbolt you left me here to die surely from the day i was born you saw what you wanted and tried to live my life for me and my fawn legs buckle now and again living in the real world on my own for the first time sorely you didnt prepare me for shit just ruined my entire perception guess you did give me that reason to cry its always always pouring

Notes

through the keyhole

our eyes once met

i begged i pleaded

i prayed and wept

but if you were ever gonna love me

you would have by now

for the longest time i thought something was wrong with me

your presence wore me down

leave the sheet

leave me be

i'm just a reminder of your past

you can't stomach to see
