Rain, liquor, bruised and bleeding

Runaway,

Feel the pain

Taste the rain

For me.

 

Catch each drop to wash away

All the moments that we kissed.

You were always sorry,

I was never amused.

 

Read it through

Drink this

Forget my name,

Please.

 

Drain your thoughts to your ears,

Let them spill this liquid that thrills

Wait, let me spill my guts to you

So that you can fall harder.

 

Punch the wall

Bruise your hand

Make marks

For her to see.

 

Caress her porcelain skin

With your black and blue hands

Abraded and rough, maybe it's enough

But now she thinks you're brave.

 

Bleeding blisters

Metallic taste

Waste of space

That pretty face.

 

Tear it to pieces that you can't read

Strokes of wet red for all to see

Just lay back down in the ground

And try to sleep.
