i used to love you

hanging by a string
in your tattered mind
my everything
i made you crawl
on the splintered floor
as you sputtered words in that silly drawl

there was no hole in my heart to fill
just untied sutures
that i placed at will
as i stripped your fears
the emotions flowed
streaming down your face in a world of tears

so the questions stand
as we move away
from our unfilled plans
your mind submerged
i leave you now
completely purged

no looking back
as the distance grows
on the words we lacked
no matter now what you choose to do
just read these words
i used to love you

hanging
by your tattered mind
my silly drawl
placed your fears
emotions flowed
streaming tears
stand away



words we lacked
spoken, but never said
pushed away again and again
trust expected, but never given
good girl, bad girl
time out for you
do as i say
not as i do
trust me, trust me
follow my lead
underfoot
i will crush you
until you bleed

ice cold heart
of a used up girl
for but a moment
felt something
something
quickly snuffed
ice cold it returned
you killed it
live and learn
