despite all I've done
I can't get over you
I'm so weak and powerless
there's nothing left to do
I push the limits of myself
becoming hopeless in many ways
a sliver beneath my nails
a strand of hair pulled away
nothing seems to help
no matter what I try
the visions of you return
and continue to make me cry
I try to inflict more pain
bordering on self mutilation
but it becomes too destructive
and doesn't heal my devastation
I thought I wanted to leave
when I found you with her
though now I'm caught between
reality's an absurd blur
your promises were tainted
my heart just kept breaking
and now my skin is scarred
with no peace to be found within
