A poem told from the perspective of someone who can't get over their breakup. |
Brush my teeth with bleach and swallow Look in the mirror and think of you You make my legs feel really hollow Hope you're thinking of me too. Drop a plugged in hair dryer in the bath Turn it on and feel relaxed My twisted sadness turns to wrath Look down at my legs just recently waxed. Stick a fork in an electric socket Remember how you said I'm energetic Ready to take off like a rocket Later on you called me apathetic. Throw myself off a rooftop Of a skyscraper building Waiting for my soul to drop Watch my world become so fulfilling. You left me love, and I don't know why You offered me so many reasons, which one was I? And you know I tried so hard But my gates were locked up and barred It was too scary to let you in, my love... I know you won't forgive me, my love... Throw myself in front of a train Feel the wind until it hits me Let my insides land beside my brain Finally I can be dead and free. Hang myself using the tree That we first sat together under It's as clear as the eye can see Our relationship was only a blunder... To you... To you... Shoot myself with a black pistol The bullet feels like a kiss you'd give Your warm blood's a liquid crystal And I hope I'm something you'll never have to relive. Overdose on assorted meds I'll arrange them by color before swallowing You'll forget about the nightmares we've bred And I'll remember you're voice, that sweet calling. You left me love, and I don't know why You offered me so many reasons, which one was I? And you know I tried so hard But my gates were locked up and barred It was too scary to let you in, my love... I know you won't forgive me, my love... |
