7tired of waiting for that second chance
I'm desperation, trying to hold myself together
while the sinews rupture one by one and I bleed white splinters of brittle bone
because you can't even pretend to love the violent flames of my own self hatred
even though they burn just for you
we were always six feet under
choking on the ashes which fell like raindrops upon our skin
leaving behind dust and memories
of horror and heartbreak which tore relentlessly at our exposure
we could only tremble silently when hurricanes and bitter cold snowstorms
threatened our delicate promises of forever
this time we're playing honesty
brutal and unforgiving against our futile attempts to forget
but my memories blaze amber against the midnight sky
and you're my insomnia
bloodshot and broken with cancer bleeding from my brain,
I can only watch our muted romance on rewind
we were just another inevitable tragedy
