187 - Teethgrinder

After that first kiss

I could taste the failure on your breath

You turned out to be

Just another name on the list of my regrets

Shut your mouth, your jaw is spilling lies

Blaming me and naming me

You’re dead behind your eyes

Shut your mouth, your jaw is spilling lies

You’re dead behind the eyes

I never had a thing for words

But hands don’t stutter like lips do

Where were you when I needed you?

Everything you’ve touched turned to dust

You left me here so I turned away

All my colors turned to grey

These words stuck in throats

Are arrows of false hope

You’re a waste of flesh

Constricting thighs and begging eyes

I never had a thing for words

But hands don’t stutter like lips do

Where were you when I needed you?

Everything you’ve touched turned to dust

You left me here so I turned away

All my colors turned to grey

I’m stronger than this but you’re dragging me into the abyss

An endless nightmare

Always present but never there

I started to think

There is no voice that could breathe hope into that worthless skin you call home

I’ve come to resent you

Would rather walk this earth alone

From my mind I was you would fade

Reminded of mistakes I’ve once made

Giving in turned into giving up
