Born of Fire
He was young and sad
He tore my skin and swallowed me whole
He took a part of me he didn't have in himself
His daggers looked like tears
He claimed me
but did not want me
He left hate on my heart and bruises on my bones
He is a ghost living inside of me
He is every negative thought inside of my blood
He is the shadow i can not escape
Destroyed my heart with three words
"I don't care"
and I guess I don't either
Sometimes I look at the veins
Sprawling through my arm
And down my wrist
I wonder how you
Got in there and
I wonder if
That's why
They're
Blue

i remember
one of the times
i got scared and
called it off,
you found someone else.
when you told me
you still loved me
at 3 in the morning,
i asked you, in a
desperate attempt
for you to hurt me
more than i had
hurt myself,
"did you sleep with her?"
your answer still
to this day
leaves me wondering
if i want to break
her hands
or my own.

everything i say
is poison so i
bite my lip and
hope i never tear
a hole through.

lord knows you
can’t handle
anything with
a kick.
