I close my eyes
And stop my breath
Because I have lost you.
This is not YOU
This is some tangled mind
Begging for a forgiveness you do not deserve
Why should I give you the benefit of the doubt
When that is now the only thing important to you?
If you were still the one I knew from the start,
The one with eyes that laughed all their own,
I would welcome you without thought
But your eyes are reflections of every spilled trend
Every cool kid
Endless,
Empty swears
And dripping red.
I don't want to follow in your footsteps.
So I run the other direction
And don't look back.
