Do you love me?
no you don't
you think you do, but alas you do not
you like the perfect me,
the me you wish to see
blind to the monster that lurks underneath
you cherry pick me
scatter me
my heart, lung, soul
bones and all
until i break
until i fall
Do you love me?
you think you do
but truly
do you?
have you seen the way the darkness in me dwells
have you seen my broken heart
it splutters, not swells
you say you love me
why do you pull me apart?
i can’t be who you wish to see
i can’t love if you expect a disguise
don’t look at me, avert your eyes
please don’t hurt me anymore
Do you love me?
why do you lie?
do you intend to hollow me out, drain me and leave me to die?
do I mean so little to little to you, that you act the way you do
why hurt me?
who hurt you?
I beg, I plead, I whimper, I bleed
but it’s not enough for you,
is it?
Do you love me?
you promise to catch me if I fall,
but weren’t you the one who pushed me off the cliff
you promised to be there for it all,
thick and thin
but in the end, I’m alone
pretty blanks and flowery lies are all your promises amount to
why waste breath
why use words for things untrue?
false hope is much too cruel
why blame me for falling down?
you were not there
there is no ground
what other choice do I have
Do you love me?
yet you close my eyes, wring my neck
every moment with you only spells regret
Is it dark enough to reach me?
will I catch your death?
I need so much, but nothing exists
you took it all
once sweet, sour forevermore
nothing is what it seems
we live in a poison tainted world,
fake wonderland
break me out of this dream
Do you love me?
because I loved you.
but there is much more than meets the eye
and I was wrong
the monster wasn’t me,
It was you.
once my love, now a fiend
someday a distant memory
Goodbye.
