the pain is real

My love for you is like a brand new cut opening
The blood dripping from it
Bright red stains on the white tile floor
Its just another cut opening up
Month after month brand new cuts all up and down my arms

The pain is agonizing
It may hurt, but its totally worth it
Everyday you hurt me
I'll never be done with all this pain, I deserve it
My heart is frail like a glass house
As if someone is stomping on it
Trying to break it even more
Shards of glass stabbing my heart

Its been three years now
My heart has been broken so many times
I can't even count in my head
But if you take a look at my arm
You'll see how many times I've been broken to pieces
Blown down by the monster, trying to get me

I'm not destroying myself, you are
I may be all torn up on the inside, bit you're the one who hurt me
I try to greet you everyday with a smile
But your frown feels like a slap across the face
It stings for a moment, but I can take the pain
I've been doing it for years now

Everyday I yearn for something you don't want
Our love to intertwine and finally make us whole again
Many others may blame their exes
For breaking their hearts, but I will always blame myself

Whenever you were away on business
I would cry myself to sleep
I use to look like a normal human being
But, I've lost so much weight
You can see my hip bones, and my ribcage
I would always stay up waiting for you to get home, but you never did
You left me shattered into a million pieces
And I had to pick them up by myself.
