AMMUNITION
Glass engraved, lips brush
Flesh, blood, drank too much
Fit me like a glove
Sipped me just enough
We struggle to move past our regrets
And find we can't live with our present
I'm sorry that I never forgive
Plucked bud, withered love
Hands burned, gave the sun
Held me like none could
Asked if it felt good
We told each other we could escape
And now we can't remember the place
I hate that everything looks the same
Now
So I'll stay until the morning comes
There's nowhere in the dark to run
Just use me like ammunition
And I'll still be here when you're done
So take me in your open palm
I'll kill the demons one by one
Reload me when the pain is gone
The fight is never truly won
Faced you, a shade hung
Drips, face, saliva
Strained, drained, a cup filled
Know I never will
