Break the chain…

tallisman

The day is going overcast

Blocking out the sun

I pull my coat around me

To better hide the gun

We all have to pay

For the choices that we make

At the end of the day

There’s a reckoning to make

 

So you think you can just leave me with a smart remark

Walk away to another man and leave me in the dark

You think that love is transferable, oh honey your so wrong

Your living a real life, not some heroine in some song

 

My love for you won’t die

With the spilling of your blood

I certainly can’t deny

That I wish it would

We all have to feel the pain

When life changes direction

What did you think you’d gain

By transferring your affection?

 

Did you really think that loves tethers were so easy to dispel

That you could walk away and all would be turn.out well?

You think you can snap the links, oh baby that’s not true

My hearts in chains and they are all linked right back to you

 

There’s only one way to break the chain

That’s what I am here for

A single bullet through the brain

A body on the floor

Who’s body that is I cannot know

Until the moments due

But one of us will have to go

And this started with you…

    A little terrifying but raw and relatable. Many very pretty verses throughout. I hope this is not a recent pain you are sharing. Either way, she's not worth it. 💔💞

    Hi Lollly, I see myself as a storyteller! Don’t worry… thanks for reading!😊

  • Bella Shepard

    Wow! Raw, laying it all on the line, all or nothing thinking, cognitive distortion, very dangerous. Scary, gives me goosebumps, but you've described this disorder so well. Good write!
