I'm forever running from bullets
that have already hit me
so i run bleeding
my flesh tearing open
as the wounds that you left on my body
refuse to heal

I miss the burn on my throat
From the rope you wrapped around me
I miss the bruises on my wrist
from the way you grabbed me
I miss the gentle kiss
and the violence on your lips
I miss the bitter looks and hard touch
I missed loving you so much

When you can’t catch your breath
I’ll lend you the oxygen out of my chest
I would take apart my heart
If it helped yours to beat
But you like her and I can’t compete

“What does alcohol taste like?”

It depends on why you are drinking
Sometimes it tastes of love
Sometimes it tastes of regret

She was like a hurricane
And I so wanted to get caught up in the storm
To catch a true view of her beauty, all her horror
I wanted to feel my bones break and my heart fall apart from her love
Because it will be worth it
Oh god I loved her
But when the storm is gone
What is left?

The scars on my body
Lay like a map to the memories of you
I scratch and tear at my skin
In attempt to get you out my flesh
But the scars run deep into my bones

Will you still love me
When the seasons change and leaves decay
When my soul is tired and my bones heavy
When there’s nothing but numb minds and codeine hearts
Will you love me in a way I could never love myself ?
