Needle and Lip
Take the needle
Take the thread
Keep slowly piercing my lips
Sticking the needle in and out
Until my lips are sewn shut
Take away my ability to speak
I don't want it anymore
Watch the blood drop from my lips onto the shirt you said looked good on me
I can't control the blood
If you don't like the sight of it, why did you cause it?
Is this what happens when I say yes to you?
Did you want to see how you could hurt me?
This was a two person job yet I was alone
I gave you my sparks to ignite the fire
yet the moment I saw the small and timid flame,
you did everything in your power to put it out.
