Why Does It Seem So Easy To You

Why does it seem so easy to you. 
Use it up. Throw it away.
That parts over.
The faster you peel the less you feel.
I’ll be here. I’ll be here.
I won’t leave the dark to itself.
You are the only one that left.
Committed to a curse.
Committed none the less.
Heels dig down to the cold.
It took a while but I see what it is.
It doesn’t disappear.
Remember me. Remember what that felt like. 
Hold on. You will never feel again.
That persons gone. They don’t exist.
They never did.
What role do you want them to play?
Who do you want them to be?
