lix. YOU FORGOT TO STITCH ME BACK UP.
electric wires as veins, you rip me open only to pour your salty sobs into my fresh wounds and send a shock through my entire body that leaves my hair static, my pulse rate fast, my entire collection of bones weary.
you ask for so much but i can only give you so little. you talk a mile a minute, i can't digest any of the words enough to understand. you say i love you and i believe it because i can't hear you choking on the lies falling from your lips.
i wish you didn't leave me so drained because if i had enough energy, i would be able to say it back,
lying just like you had.
