In Response To Yours

I don’t think you understand

How could you say it’s okay

How could you tell me you wouldn’t leave

Then turn around

To watch me drown

She’s clutching your arm

Silver cross glinting on her neck

Re-opening another scar

And I’ve faded to gray

But if I whisper, “stay”

Will you?

Hazel eyes locked on mine

When I’m trying not to cry

Don’t hug me don’t touch me give me my space

I guess you just enjoyed the chase

You wanted to be the one to hold the gun to my head

Just a fucking shark hunting the depths

I let you know you were all I want

Now I’m the one who got shot

I hate her I hate you

Everything you ever said wasn’t true

This trainwreck wasn’t a fair game

Though honestly I’m to blame

Crying then laughing but I won’t tell you what I think

Only place I’m fully truthful is in ink

You ask me what’s on my mind

And it’s just your name on repeat
