my world was built on purple skies,
on withered tongues and bloodshot eyes
that forced themselves between my thighs;
your bitter lies, your bitter lies.
love was only a goddamn word,
one seldom seen and never heard.
i looked to you, through vision blurred-
oh, how absurd. oh, how absurd.
god of the razor, hear my prayer
to a father who's never there.
why can't he just pretend to care;
it isn't fair. it isn't fair.
if your steel heart had eyes to see,
then maybe you would hear my plea.
from your bonds, i'll never be free;
you've ruined me. you've ruined me.
father, can't you see what you've done
to your own blood, your first-born son?
i cannot trust in anyone;
i've come undone. i've come undone.
red crosses mark the price i've paid;
the edges of this fucking blade
can't heal the wounds your words have made.
they'll never fade, they'll never fade.
Adding your comment:
You've written a brilliant piece and it doesn't sound at all emo to me. The form is great and your wording excellent
