Damaged
hallucinate
take a pill and watch as it washes down
with the bile taste of liquidized hate
my mind wanders in circles
around and around and around it goes
dizzy, i fall onto something hard
pass out to the sight of something red
dark like the inside of a rose
surely i must of meant something once
surely i must of been good enough
but not good enough for you to keep
did you need me? I was there anyways
Did I need you?
of course, but all you did was run away
silent as death
i creep out the back door
away from the bloody mess
some bandaids for my wrist
not a single kiss for any of the scars
but another broken fist
as i try to shatter a brick on the wall
so why did you just use me?
like walking barefoot on broken glass
i'm so close to crawling on my knees
and this sure as hell wont be the last
surely i must of been good enough
but not good enough for you to keep
did you need me? I was there anyways
did I need you?
of course, but all you did was run away
so sleep well tonight
you'll dream of something more than me
so sleep well
as i toss and turn on cold empty sheets
sleep well
