Gone

You were my skin My bones My voice Every crooked part I let you hold "I'm gone" Two words A knife right through With practiced precision Do you know how heavy betrayal is When it smells like trust? I'm twisted around our memories A coil of hands and voices You left dangling midair I can't breathe I can't think You're everywhere Inside my chest In my throat Gnawing Twisting I wanted you to stay I wanted the safe place I built inside you to be real I wanted you I wanted you I wanted you I don't want another beginning I don't want to fold myself Into someone else's hands Just to get shredded again I wanted everything And it broke me anyway I hate it The way I love you The way I can’t erase you The way it cost my sanity While you carry nothing I don’t want anyone else I can’t I won’t I can’t go through this again I won’t survive it You’re gone
