open heart
you broke my heart in,
showed me my own ugly insides
so that i wouldn't have to play my life on repeat.
now you smile.
it is a painful smile when you look at me.
what we both know,
what we both see,
will always be this thorn covered beauty.
i was dead,
and the last breath was accompanied with a tear.
now there is no fear,
for i have seen the worst of me.
this sigh of relief says "go when you please
and leave no regrets"
we hold the feeling carefully in our claws,
savor the taste of blood in our jaws.
i took a bite out of my own heart,
i dare not swollow.
i have filled the hollow,
and dropped my weapons.
i am equal in the surrendering of souls
showed me my own ugly insides
so that i wouldn't have to play my life on repeat.
now you smile.
it is a painful smile when you look at me.
what we both know,
what we both see,
will always be this thorn covered beauty.
i was dead,
and the last breath was accompanied with a tear.
now there is no fear,
for i have seen the worst of me.
this sigh of relief says "go when you please
and leave no regrets"
we hold the feeling carefully in our claws,
savor the taste of blood in our jaws.
i took a bite out of my own heart,
i dare not swollow.
i have filled the hollow,
and dropped my weapons.
i am equal in the surrendering of souls
