On the inside of my eyelids is a screen,
playing a nightmare that is reality...
your wicked smile stunning all the boys and men
until one entraps the wild
throwing coal into the fire
you told me that you hate him
so i drove him away
only to find you let him back in the very next day
i see your misplaced face slowly expire
swelling...
yellow,purple,and green
and i write my own ending
i don't know exactly what happened
but when i close my eyes I'm forced to imagine...
that famous shard of metal ripping through your flesh
a 22 caliber rifle
sent it bouncing off the walls in your head
liquid life dripping,
soaking your clothes
staining the concrete as you slide down the slope
and all the while,your "romeo" sits
next to you watching in utter amazement
It is his sociopath entertainment
and so,he will live forever in my gut
with a lighter,
boiling my blood
Ive devised many plans of revenge
hemoglobin filled fantasies
but instead,
hes growing up nicely,
strong and healthy
with transparent memories of what happened
buried deep beneath new files in his mind
can you see him from purgatory?
can you see i was right?
it was apparent behind his arrogant eyes
he was laughing,
as he stood above the earn
glancing at your pictures,
not looking the least bit concerned
when he told you that he loved you
did he foresee your demise?
did he know he would let you rot
under the bridge all that time?
well,
just to make sure ill see you again
just as my life is coming to an end,
ill open my veins and calmly let them drain
just in case,
people who take their own life
end up in a different place
