the first time i saw a body bend that way
i realized that we’re more beautiful dead than alive
then, with bloodied flesh removed, your rib cage ripped away —
and i saw why they say beauty comes from the inside
it won’t be the same this time around
and you’ll never be the same again
i promise to never forget you
i know you’ll remember me for as long as you live…
and your life ends right here, right now, as i tear your heart apart
i’ll take your hair with me,
wrapped around my bloody knuckles
as a soft, silken reminder
of the day you discovered
that even the softest words
can’t heal the deepest wounds
i pray that they find you
and use the softest words
to hide the hardest truth
i’m covered in your blood
…now it’s over, we’re better
one day we’ll forget you were
so right and so clever
save me from this love affair
with broken hearts before it’s too late
save me or save yourself
