i spend hours in the shower
i spend hours at the sink
knowing i had no power
when i inhaled that salty drink
i can't clean you from my body
i can't clean you from my bed
my husk forever stained
with your ugly box-dye red
the hands that touch me admire
and cherish my slits of mended skin
the hands that touch me press down
my heart stuck in his grin
the hands that touch me are now unfamiliar
as they now tear and claw
claiming the parts of me that are raw
the hands that touch me leave me to die
the hands now soaked in my blood
the hands that touch me are now unamused
my tears becoming an eternal flood
i'm in the kitchen, cooking dinner with you
then suddenly, the room turns cold
and you're no longer in my view
we're laying in bed, our tender bodies kissed by the setting sun
then suddenly the bed is empty
my body, a deathly cold one
we sit together for breakfast
then suddenly the tea grows cold
never thinking that morning could be our last
for your resentment for me was untold
drink my blood and taste my skin
and tell me that i am yours again
open me up and consume me whole
for i am lost and out of control
such an ugly thing...
such an ugly display you are...
it's so silly how you think you deserve these things
starve yourself. accept the truth.
your bones ache and you long for a home long gone.
Death's child so tender and lovely
through empty eyes never seen as ugly
Death's child now alone and cold
could only watch his tears as they rolled
