It haunts me
The girl
It hurts me more
Than bruises ever will
The way she can smile
Be done
Get it right the first time
She breathes down my neck
Be better
The owls say
Be your best
The liars bray
It only hurts now
They echo
They scream
They cry out
I want it
I want it badly
So badly, it breathes down my neck
It entwines with my thoughts
Stop it
Break it
Lose it
I want to
I want it to end
This screaming in my breath
The lying
The smell
The sweat
I just wish
It was free
Letting out the doves
So sweet
Never enough
Never will be
Never
The word reflects all of this
Happiness
My words
Leave them alone
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
While you can
Cut it away
The words that she says
Cut them away
Maybe
Just maybe
It'll leave
She'll go away
And maybe I can stop
Maybe I can finally be alive
Love
Be free
But then they leave
I dance
I break loose from the thoughts
Only to be dragged back
To finish the words they loved
Love
What is it
A fickle word
But that is all
A word
Nothing more, nothing less
Kill it
Cut it away
Carve it
Then breathe
The world turns
And I eventually sleep
Never awaken
By the dreams
But they're here
The ones lost
Ones given away into the dark
Stop! Stop! I scream
But I am surrounded
And they are breathing down my neck
