i'm the bad guy

because my honesty

maker Your tongue sharper

it's me

because when i say

the wrong thing

Your blood boils

You can't contain

the heat

it's my fault

Your words pierce

through me

like a dagger

i'm to blame

for Your reactions

to my problems

and when You yell

until my cheeks are salty

Your eyes hollow

soul empty

i turn numb

the only thing i can be

i stare into nothing

as Your razor sharp words

get thrown at me

maybe this is where

i find internal peace

in the midst of chaos

as You trample my heart

i retract mentally

to be alone

~

when you talk to Others

you are totally different

you laugh and smile

but i do not exist

not in a world

where you are happy

and as i sit beside you

loneliness engulfs me

moments you love Me

are when I game with you

when I open my legs for you

but I am so numb

I feel nothing at all

no love

no pain

no joy

no shame

no fear

fuck...

I need to get out of here

heartbreak
