**** off Go away No one ever liked you No, not even me I don't know why I put up with you for so long. Don't pretend you didn't see this coming I never mattered to you, either Just a safe place to hide From the cold You didn't even ask to be let in. I should have listened to my friends When they said you were no good But I was too proud And too dumb And too trusting. So I let things slide And I hoped that you'd get better That if I was patient And kind Things would resolve themselves. I was only a kid. I remember that night, The light by my bedstand When I finally had enough And tried to make you leave And found it hurt too much. I was ashamed Of myself Of you Of the pain So I hid it, pretended it didn't matter. And you dug your ******* heels in ******* that you are Wheedling your way into my life And my body Like it's a thing you already own No more of this ******** I will boil you in acid And I will drag you out by force I'll cut you down And throw you out With the rest of the morning garbage And it will hurt, I know it hurts And this hole you leave in me May never, ever heal I just have to hope it will. Because I'd rather spend my life Walking around With a ******* hole in my foot Than spend one more minute With you.

An Ode to the Hole in the Bottom of my Foot
**** off Go away No one ever liked you No, not even me I don't know why I put up with you for so long. Don't pretend you didn't see this coming I never mattered to you, either Just a safe place to hide From the cold You didn't even ask to be let in. I should have listened to my friends When they said you were no good But I was too proud And too dumb And too trusting. So I let things slide And I hoped that you'd get better That if I was patient And kind Things would resolve themselves. I was only a kid.

And you dug your ******* heels in ******* that you are Wheedling your way into my life And my body Like it's a thing you already own No more of this ******** I will boil you in acid And I will drag you out by force I'll cut you down And throw you out With the rest of the morning garbage And it will hurt, I know it hurts And this hole you leave in me May never, ever heal I just have to hope it will. Because I'd rather spend my life Walking around With a ******* hole in my foot Than spend one more minute With you.
