Rage creeps in
But I’ve got nothing left to give
You say there’s a simple solution just
Submit submit submit
Slash me with sorrow
Slice me with words
Slit my tender skin
Then shame me when it hurts
I see now there’s so much wrong with me
Shatter the glass slam your fists
What kind of life is this?
Courage crumbles
Reduced to rubble
Confidences turned to arrows
Love lit eyes turned to shadows
Snap my bones then suck the marrow
What kind of love is this?
