My heart is an array of oil and grease,
Splattered on the stretched canvas
of my chest, of my life.
My tears tried to wash the remnants of you
From the dark parts of my mind.
You were everywhere I went,
Haunting my every step
Breathing down my back
Reminding me of your torment.
Scatterbrain, shattered heart and marked .
My scars look like the pictures you used to paint
And my cries sound like the vinyls you used to play
You carved your initials in my body like tree bark
My arms, my legs
You didn't feel the pain
But I did.
Scatterbrain, shattered heart and scarred.
I was so lost in your arms
In the wonderland of our love
That I didn't feel you carving into my skin.
Scatterbrain, shattered heart and done.
