It's like there are razor blades in my throat,
Slicing up the words I want to say the most,
'I love you' I whisper,
But you were already gone.

I wish I could love you,
The way you deserve to be loved.

I never was fast enough to outrun you,
I can still feel your claws in my ankles,
Like chains,
that I'm trying to cut through,
But I'm left tangled,
The pain beating through my veins.
I think I've gone insane,
Where is my brain?
Look at how I've grown,
Into this hurricane.

Funny that?
You wind up a dog,
And it bites.

I place my hand on my chest,
Because my heart was the last thing you touched,
Before you left.
I never want to lose the feel of your touch,
Trying to burn this feeling into my skin,
I let you win.
I know you took all the summers with you,
So I'll wrap myself in the bleak winters,
And wait for your return.

I never wanted to let you go

Why do I feel shame for what I sold,
And you feel none for what you bought?
Tegan May 2019
Would it be alright?
If I was to fall in love with you
