Healing a Viper
Let the flames consume me
push the needle in slowly.
When I finally stop hating myself
I feel like I'll be free.
My eyelids got heavy.
I didn't see you across the room crying and shaking.
Hating yourself for staying with me.
It won't get better. I'm never going to change. You knew what I was when you picked me.
I'll never improve, you can't fix me,
You'll never be enough to heal me.

"you'll never be enough to heal me"
I rather like this line
Can imagine it being said under lowered brow with an apathetic tone towards the dashed hopeful.
Welcome

If only my ex could’ve put these words out there before all of the wasted time. I love it.
