I feel like my heart is covered in stitches
They are messy and black and make my heart ugly
They hold it together after all the times it has been hurt
I feel your heart is saying goodbye
I can’t hear it, so I turn away so all I can feel is your breath on my neck
I pretend it is saying ‘I’ll stay’
But I worry it is goodbye
As the stitches are coming loose
And all my pain is pouring out all over me
And I don’t know who I am anymore
I worry without you I can not stitch anymore pain in and it will just live with me like a shadow I can’t leave
Maybe it’s because I have your pain too now, the pain I gave you from my ugly stitched heart
