& two nights later we’re back where we started [again].
the screams are tearing out a cavern for themselves in my abdomen, angry I’ve held them inside for so long. I should make myself a silent violin out of my own vocal chords that choke in the sounds of the way I feel. Maybe if I put together pretty enough words with a melody I could paint you the picture of how I feel in the air in front of your face you’d understand the crimsons and sapphires,
but all you see are silhouettes of me falling apart & you don’t understand why I feel this broken inside or that you were the one to tear apart my soul with the needlepoint sharpness of your eyes (that could always make me fall for you over and over with each tear you cried); babe you really have no idea that this is n o t going to be okay in the end, and neither am I.
no matter how many red roses you give me to symbolize my soul, I’m still trapped inside this shadowed mind like a glittering prison [trapped with thoughts of you]. I’m still waiting for the day I breathe no more and [these images;;those words] leave my head at last like I could never burn them from my retinas, no more second chances, just me, three bottles of pills, and the darkness closing in around me.
But somehow baby I can’t do that, can’t forget the way you feel in my arms, can’t forget the way my heart always tightens when I lay my head on your shoulder and your angel’s wings shine perfect again. And the magic in this nightmare is knowing that whatever you do.to.me I’ll always be yours. Forever & ever baby,
♥ just don’t leave me intact when you leave me
