Razor Blades
Razor Blades
By LoLa
Moments that we had together
Forever lost in the echoes of time
The rhyme inside this face of hers
Tattoed hands; extended lobes and lines
The countless times we fell inside our empty hearts
We got so lost and made mistakes
We met our fate, mourned us in the wake
Hammered nails once standing tall: and none of it was fake...to me
I operate the aftermath of the memories of we
The things we held so dearly and free
now open eyes can finally see
Broken families showing everything we’ll never be
The bridges and trees we burned to plant the seed of you and me
Your shouting words and viscious tongue
The flashbacks now, that flood my lungs
I cannot breathe or sing; you stole my melody
You burned my heart, efficiently to the third degree
About the way you never trusted my eyes
Projecting insecurities with schizophrenic lies
But i loved your jeckyl and hyde; never knowing why
Finding now I needed your hand so I could cry...or die
I can still feel your razor tongue on every bus route
You dragged me down and hollowed me out
Rebuilding now and moving on with myself
Scared and lost; to think of me and no one else
