To you, she was nothing
She was just a sad girl with hollow bones
Covered in scars
Covered in slinky t shirt
Covered in choppy haircut her parents cut
With rusty scissors
To you she is nothing but rusty scissors.
To her
You were the world
You were the everything
Because she felt like you gave her everything
Why didn't you give her anything?
Why didn't you love me?
I gave you everything I had
And though that was a penny short from nothing
To her it was all of herself
She gave you herself and you stepped on her like she was just another slice of concrete
And that's why she pricks her fingers with pins
That's why she covered her wrists in pen
That's why she carved into her flesh with her finger nails
Because pain to her
Is like lemonade after being so emotionless for too long
So, so long, she will miss you
She will dream of you and think of you and breathe you until she stops
Until she stops
