hatred 🌼
i gave to you my heart
placed it in your burning palms
you set it alight with your loving touch
but you couldn't keep it from going out
what you left behind, was more than ashes
it was a dead thing
‘a broken piece of hate’
you lied, begged, bribed and cheated
and i couldn't keep wearing this false smile
i loved you, i swear i did
but you couldn't keep the fire burning
it was like stepping on broken glass
the pieces getting stuck in my feet
me bleeding out on people who hadn't even cut me
