i’m now breathing the air that you stole
and it fills and spills into my heaving lungs

baby, why does your love hurt so bad?
you said everything that’s beautiful comes with pain, and darling, you’re a true masterpiece. i should’ve known.

i’m swallowing the lump in my throat
while you’re swallowing pills one by one

we’re not the same anymore, my love
you’re far too broken
and i am healed.
Our backs hold stories
Not even the spine
On a book can handle

I will not die
Do not say goodbye
My heart will continue racing
in the night.
I will fight
the eternal fight;
do good deeds,
set things right.
I will not bow
to another man
that I know
will be my shame.
I will carry
this burden so heavy
on my back
until I am clean.

Fear seers
the sweetest brandings
Into our flesh
When we conquer it
How much I adore my badges

I pray that you find someone
who understands you.
That's rare, no one does that
even if they are in
love.
