Reach out and touch my cheek.
Don't be offended when I turn away.
Take me out to the dark beach for a walk.
I'm not sorry I don't reschedule for another day.
Wrap your arms around me.
Try not to cough as I fall to ashes.
Yell at me and get angry.
Apologize when I bat my sorry lashes.
If you call me beautiful, I'll tell you you're lucky.
I know you won't find someone like me.
And that's what I'm aiming for.
You can tell I'm not right. All I feel is misanthropy.
Broken hearts, broken by me.
But I've been broken too.
It's painful, depressing, you feel ripped to shreds.
So don't act like I can't feel you.
I know the darkest roads that can be travelled in my mind.
They're all paved with memories of your face.
So don't be hurt when I let you suffocate on yourself.
I want to watch you disappear without a trace.
I'm not the bad person, you know.
I'm simply confused and lost.
Is this what you accomplished?
A sense of power. But at what cost?
