You stare at me like I’m brain dead
“Dr. Bad News” came with meds
Think I’m suffocating under water bad enough
Empty promises and lies
are made with deeper cuts
I’m okay
Un-afraid
When my lungs collapse it’s overkill
To whom you wrote
I hope they choke, on words, that broke me
And when they ghost, keep playing dead
Bite my tongue instead
Instead
Instead
Let it burn the open wounds, in you
Bite it instead
Every tragic tales you’ve told
Became my clarity that I’ve known
That feeling
Something
Breathing
Under
My bed
Something
Breathing
Next to
My head
Instead…
You always pick the best times
To drop every worst lines
Celebrate the scars and ones to come
Caving
In like
Everything is breaking
One, by one
Gone blink of an eye
To whom you wrote
I hope they choke, on words, that broke me
And when they ghost, keep playing dead
Bite my tongue instead
Instead
Instead
Let it burn the open wounds, in you
Bite it instead
An empty house with mirrors show
I can’t be loud when no one knows
Instead
Instead
Let it burn the open wounds, in you
Bite it instead
Every tragic tales you’ve told
Became my clarity that I’ve known
That feeling
Something
Breathing
Under
My bed
Something
Breathing
Next to
My head
