Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
It's the darkness for which I lust.
As pretty as a butterfly,
and as deadly as your knives-
I call upon the reaper, make me one of your wives.
Cutting was an obvious cry to you- through sickness and in hell you promised you'd stay true.
And yet you laughed and I cried-
you and I both know I really tried.
But the razor always found its way to my veins..
Bleeding naked on the bathroom floor,
your absense only left me wanting more.
You said my shit was just a phase and that it would pass,
now all you have left of me is ashes in a glass.
The words 'I love you' remained unspoken.
My heart was broken
as I tore my flesh open..
