take me back and let me think
i'll go around tonight
hold my broken heart close
and breathe
hold the wound closed
and let the body encapsulate
the bullet whole
it might take years to lead to
leeched lead
and maybe i will die
but it is not tonight
stand in the wake
until the levees break
i am awash as i lay awake
beneath
pull the stitch through
every trembling wound
i am professing
i don't care for
professions
your confessions
meant nothing after all
your words were emptier
than my bankrupt
heart
bled out on the carpets
you had to burn out back
i was buried beneath
the rug
it's finally enough
i confess, it still hurts
it's more than you deserve
all the best of me is at the rest
of me
the wake of me was held
your arms let me go
take no responsibility
for nothing you don't want to
and we walked away when i said
look to your bloody hands
and i will look to mine
and you said:
nobody's thinking like you
the world doesn't work like
that
and our hearts fell
flat
do
not
go
back
