I’m trying to
Slow down life
Time on my hands
Heavier than blood
I cannot wash away
The pieces of me
That I’m saving
For tomorrow

I’m sorry
So sorry
For all the things I’ve done
And all the things
I’ll ***** up next
But haven’t yet begun

I would like
To be called lovely
But the span of my hips
Labels me nice
Instead

I only called myself a writer
After I tasted the idea
Of champagne
On your lips

We never broke up
We just sort of broke down
I was wearing my shame
Instead of my crown
You spat out the ashes
That tasted like flame
And it hurt cause it burnt
When you said my name
Now there’s time for regret
And moments for tears
The mistakes I made
Will stay with me for years
But you’re nothing royal
No knight sent for me
You’re more like a dragon
You like when I bleed
And though I’m no princess
I’ll keep my head high
Inside I slay dragons
And you’re just a guy.

They say to put yourself
In someone else’s shoes
But your boots
Couldn’t tell me
Why you left
