the sharp edges glide

screeching against the tiled walls

I smile grimly

as it resounds through my heart’s halls

“I’m back”

that’s what you said

“and ready to get hurt?”

I asked as you made the bed

the bed of our relationship

you’re ready to get in again

ready to feel the pain of my

fingertips against the skin of your heart again

it’s just some glass shards

stuck on me

it’ll leave you bleeding

can’t you see?

you don’t get it, do you?

staying here will leave you broken

will leave you gasping

leave you ready to sue

sue me now, sugar

before we get to deep

“but all I want is you”

you murmur as you fall asleep
