Bones

You left me so torn. 
You left me so naked 
and stripped to the bone. 

so many things you said 
so many things you did. 
All of this is going to heal, 
but i dont know if i can make it without 
you by my lonely side. 

So many tears shed, 
so many cuts bleed. 
No more do I wish for death 
because I know it would kill you. 

My eyes are tired, 
my breath is shallow. 
She slowly killed me, 
said i had to die for you
