For You

For you I’d lay awake through open heart surgery I’d walk through fire and shower in mercury. Whatever it takes, if only you knew I’d relight the sun to make the world brighter, For you I’d burn my heart with a lighter. Maybe you did know And you watched me burn as long as I’d endure it I became what you want and you punished me for it. Always the fool to believe in forever Not realizing my time was already up Avoiding conflict my puerile endeavor I cried the water that filled your cup It was then I realized I was not the fool I was a girl in love without knowing what it was Sitting content in toxic garbage Offering up my mental health For you I was willing to hurt myself But it wasn’t my fault Partially at relief is a girl stuck in the 2nd stage of grief No jabs to the heart or fire to my skin I cried the river I should’ve drowned you in
