Blink Swallow Breathe
Sorry I made you bleed.
Your hesitance was all I needed.
To see into your heart
and rip you apart.
Your tears mean nothing,
the aftermath is my torment.
All I want, is to see you bleed.
The walls close in.
Panic clogs my throat
cloaked in calmness I can’t sustain.
Can you hear me scream.
Was it worth it, the extreme.
A few minutes.
Just a few minutes
twisted my head
fucked in my bed,
forever dead.
Blink, swallow, breathe.
Run from me, stay away.
I don’t need your help.
I’m much too fucked to see your help.
How it should be.
Without the blood.
Without my guts all over the floor.
Tears won’t come,
a song unsung
boils to the surface.
Blink, swallow, breathe.
Can you hear me scream.
Was it worth it, the extreme.
A few minutes
just a few minutes.
Twisted my head
Fucked in my bed
Fucked in my head.
Pulling out.
The door slams shut.
What a shame really.
I have no doubt.
Smile nicely.
Choke it down, without a sound.
Turn around
Slink away.
Blood on the surface washes me clean.
I deserve it.
Blink, swallow, breathe
It was nice for a while.
To have a place.
To make you crawl.
Made me hot.
To watch it build.
Pretending to only like it,
because it gave me chills.
Pull the strings.
Watch it sing.
Simple things really.
I like fooling my self.
Can you hear me scream.
Was it worth it, the extreme,
Just a few minutes
For a few stupid minutes,
the light came in.
Then smacked in the head.
Fucked in my bed.
Never again.
Blink. Swallow. Breathe.
