The proper thing,
for me, for you
To throw away
You, for me
You took the pain
You made the stain
It always hurts
before the dawn
Flowing crimson, cramp and thorn
Rent and bane, a week of wailing
Hate that crumbles, soaking deep
Bloating micro-fibers red
Used to keep our insides in
Used to hide my crusted gashes
Used to heap up all your dead
Inside my head, my fingers burning.
But you were clean and tightly woven
I pressed you underneath my skin
Didn’t know. What was your purpose
It just felt right. And so very wrong.
To use you.
But didn’t you also use me too?
To fill you up while you were barren
And now it overflows.
Used to take away the pain
Now every word uncertain.
I wonder where the fuck you’ve been
Starting now to bleed. Again.
Gushing problems, failing tears
But tears should make it better
But they only make me bitter
From my insides falling out
Can you clot
When things wont stop
When you forgot
My name.
Ignore, your bore, restore my soul
Why are you asking questions?
Used to be your bloody rags
Who do you say I am?
Swelled and dripping from the center
The center of my being.
Who do you say I am?
I guess I’m used.
For you.
