I don't have the right words for this one
Your pain is not an artwork
made for gallery walls
or a lone sketchbook
buried and forgotten
at the back of your closet
Your pain is the sound
of a violin string snapping
wood splintering and crashing
lost in the discord
of your unheard screams
I used to love you like an artwork
easily and from afar
because you were easy to love
your flaws easy to forget
when your true face was a mystery
hidden behind a golden smile
I loved you and you splintered me
like an instrument smashed against a wall
in a moment of passionate insanity
I tried to find peace
in the void of your silence
but I missed you
like a part of me had been displaced
And I wanted nothing
but my own pain and rage
cradled against my chest
I wanted to forget
that I made you a part of me
your name tattooed on my heart
along with everyone else
I have loved and lost
along with everyone who
can't forget my name or my face
though fuck knows, we all try
And then you're back
with my fucking heart in your hands
though you can't tell
where my heart ends and yours begins
and you break me open
the way you always do
the way I've always let you
Wordlessly
Silently
Without a single fuck you
to be found
because I don't have the heart
to break you back
Because you don't know
how much I love you
Because you don't know
how much it hurts
to watch you over tightening
the stings again
like they won't break
and ricochet
into my already too fragile heart
that can't take the violence
whispering to you
from the bottom
of another bottle
that promises nothing good
made for gallery walls
or a lone sketchbook
buried and forgotten
at the back of your closet
Your pain is the sound
of a violin string snapping
wood splintering and crashing
lost in the discord
of your unheard screams
I used to love you like an artwork
easily and from afar
because you were easy to love
your flaws easy to forget
when your true face was a mystery
hidden behind a golden smile
I loved you and you splintered me
like an instrument smashed against a wall
in a moment of passionate insanity
I tried to find peace
in the void of your silence

And I wanted nothing
but my own pain and rage
