Tourniquet Diary
Bulldoze the memories
The wants and needs I so preciously sustained
I’ve no more room on the walls of my heart
To tally up the disappointments bestowed upon me
Take me for granted
Bend me in your sick, cruel fashion
Satisfy that sadistic hunger
Insatiably feed on the sundering ruin of myself
Go on,
I won’t resist
THIS LOVE TOOK ALL OF MY ENERGY
A lover’s contract broken
The fine print neglected
Never given the time of day
Torn to shreds
Once malicious, always malicious
Wasn’t that your motto?
You doomed me from hello
Plotted my demise from the very start
A terrorist for the vulnerable
A destroyer of happiness
The reaper of the stars
Leaving so fast
My tears didn’t have time to hit the ground
Forevermore pain,
This tourniquet diary I’m left to fill in
A dark oasis
My sweet shadow
This hopeless comfort I call my own
