To This
Hand full after hand full
The pills I swill around my dry mouth
The doctors say they will
Stop
The urge to repeat
Bullet after bullet of forgiveness for my sins
I choked down
With death the only sound on my lips
I let them burn the words from my throat
I let eat my pain away
I let them take
But they only took away the trust hearts held for me
They only took away respect for my own life
They only took away my time
I wanted to never remember
And now I can never forget
Your eyes
Your fingers leaving trails of pins and needles
On my cold olive skin
Your heartbeat so close to mine
Composing an offbeat sonata dedicated to lovers everywhere
I will always remember
The looks
The words
You shot my way that day
I was not prepared for the war we waged
Hit after hit until it was too much
You sunk my battleship
My only consolation was the faucet and bottle
A waterfall of ice
Sweet red packages promising death
These were a few of my favorite things
The world began to spin
Teh wrldo geban ot pisn…
Wrheld..obegaot.npnsi…
You never blinked at my overflowing pain
Barb after barb flew my way
Too much
Too much
More water
More pills
More pain
Hoping for an end
Darkness
And I woke to this
To these never ending memories
To this
