Chapter 23 - Rip it apart.

Rolling over to kiss you

A ghost was lying there...

The smell of your body spray

Lingered in the air...

So far.

So far.

I used to struggle with that ghost,

Your shadow ran around...

Seeing your face in puddles

In my commute across town...

So hard.

So hard.

Fuck that,

I wanted to tell you everything

The last words I never got to say

But I'm over that now.

Because I remember everything

All the shitty words you'd say

To keep me down.

The smile to keep me around...

-

While the whole world was laughing

I stood there with you...

Just hide me,

Deprived me,

So far beneath you...

Over

And over

The only truth.

Everything pointed back to you...

You...

-

Fuck, it's time that I moved on

To someone new.

I deserve all the best,

Yes, that's someone who

Will look far...

Into my heart...

And I burned that old book.

No, I tore it apart...

It doesn't deserve ashes,

Let the maggots

Eat all the parts

In the dark

Just like your heart...

-

I don't need to tell you anything.

Those bitter words I had to say

I tore them in two.

Yes, I have smudged it all away

Sage it all into the gray

I have nothing for you.

Don't get it misconstrued...

-

While the whole world was watching,

You spat in my face...

You beat me

Discreetly.

Emotionally displaced...

Over

And over

The only way.

Everything pointed back to you...

My body get nauseous

When I think about you...

My butterflies, you took their wings,

And tore them in two...

All to empower yourself

That's true...

Everything pointed back to you...

You...

-

And I know it's not my fault,

But it's my responsibility...

You buried your knives in my heart

But I need to heal

That broken fragility...

Love doesn't feel real to me

You left that pill in me...

I dig

And I tear at it now

Cause it's killing me...

You almost destroyed me

Bu I found the real in me

Soldered it up

All the leaks

Now I'm filling me

Back up

There's no time to slack up

My hopes may seem packed up

But I have a thrill in me.

It's still in me...

It's still in me...
