All I've got

Is some scraps of my sanity

And the burn marks you've left on my skin.

The invisible ones

That hurt me,

The burn marks on my chest.

The holes, all the way through.

I'm transparent.

And you caught the star.

You caught it, the one I asked you to catch.

For me.

But you kept it,

And you gave it to another sky,

And you caught the moon,

You caught it, the one I asked you to catch.

For me.

But you kept it,

And you gave it to another sky.

And I'll see that sky,

And I'll climb into a black sheeted bed

In white sheeted slippers

With a warm cup of green tea

And a warm, welcoming hand.

Closing in on my neck.

And it'll push out the tea

And it'll push out the lies

And it'll push my heart out

And people will stare.

It'll push out the endless memorized words

The goo goo dolls and sugar ray, pink floyd, linkin park, simple plan, pearl jam

It'll push them out

And I'll be one hollow shell

And I'll smile

Because there's nothing left in my body to make me frown

All I've got is these thin wrists

And their purple veins

All I've got is these chubby thighs

And the perfectly parallel scars lining them

All I've go is this scratched up arm of mine

The scars on my left arm faded

And I can still see the perfect

I can see it

So clearly

Bright, it was so happy

And it's best friend danced along with it

It's cold metal painting it's signature.

This television is broken

And all I can see is the moment when the veteran

Refuses to pin his star on his fallen friend

He pins his heart on.

He pins his fucking heart on.
