I have robbed myself And cried at your result Oh how I feel like sobbing at your name They told me you were sweet They told it was like drowning in honey But your cruelty has become a taunt for generations Love For me you were a false allegation Where secrets impaled every word between us Everything has fallen to a grinding halt And I feel n o t h i n g - Like a forgotten lamppost An old rug soaked in canine **** An amputees stump: hollow. My calendar still has marks for our hours to spend together My mouth cannot bear the taste of someone else I stare at my mugshot in the mirror And tell myself I am the victim But my veins hold me to account I was a willing accomplice I let him take all the empty spaces in my heart And left me no room to grow I let it feel strong and terrifying I felt he'd loved me harder than anything I've ever known And I swallowed it whole Thoroughly, completely I wanted him all Little did I know I'd entered a civil war Where my thighs would bear the marks of collateral damage My mind would spill the spoils

The time you would take another
I have robbed myself And cried at your result Oh how I feel like sobbing at your name They told me you were sweet They told it was like drowning in honey But your cruelty has become a taunt for generations Love For me you were a false allegation Where secrets impaled every word between us Everything has fallen to a grinding halt And I feel n o t h i n g - Like a forgotten lamppost An old rug soaked in canine **** An amputees stump: hollow. My calendar still has marks for our hours to spend together My mouth cannot bear the taste of someone else I stare at my mugshot in the mirror And tell myself I am the victim But my veins hold me to account I was a willing accomplice I let him take all the empty spaces in my heart And left me no room to grow I let it feel strong and terrifying I felt he'd loved me harder than anything I've ever known And I swallowed it whole Thoroughly, completely I wanted him all Little did I know I'd entered a civil war Where my thighs would bear the marks of collateral damage My mind would spill the spoils
