Herself

Back to you who once was you

If you peered in through her ribcage ,

You'd find an empty space,

From the boy she gave her heart to ,

Who didn't put his in it's place,

She no longer is the owner,

Of the blood within her veins ,

It belongs to all the memories

And the drugs to numb the pain .

The brain within her skull,

Is so flooded that it could drown ,

In the names of people who said they cared 

But didn't stick around,

All the words that's she's been called ,

Have replaced all of her bones ,

Even the smile upon her lips 

Is no longer her own ,

There's nothing left of her body

That society hasn't touched,

YET, they have the nerve to wonder why 

She hates herself so much .
