I depended on you for substance
You were an outline to my shapeless life
I needed definition, not confinement
Self-confinement in faithless strife
I’m unbound now
I dance along the sharpened edge of life
Free from worry and tiptoed
Flying from each blade to next
With all your blood behind me
Slowly dripping down the knife
You issues fade and leave me now
With your leaving not much fading
and your voice yelling in the door
The slamming shut of car doors
Leaving memories in the dust
Well, I’m not so small and helpless now
Your burden since cast off
My shoulders, lax from lost toil
While you fester in my gut
And when you’re on my mind
My insides plague with vomit
Pathetic in your selfish musing
Alone, and there you’ll rot
With the company of unspoken evils
Eating at your fleshy limbs
I’m unbound now
I dance along the sharpened edge of life
Free from worry and tiptoed
Leaping from each blade to next
With all your blood behind me
Slowly dripping down the knife
You won’t find your reprieve in me
A wasted opportunity
Broken telephones and unanswered messages
Cries for help, mere echoes of the past
Your face is just as shapeless now
As the life that I once led
Your definition broken by the scattered syntax
Of all that’s fucked up in your head.
I’m unbound now
I dance along the sharpened edge of life
Free from worry and tiptoed
Flying from each blade to next
With all your blood behind me
Slowly dripping down the knife
Embraced in open arms
Splitting all you were in two
A divide between what was
And that bland and fucked new you
