Wallow

Clean up the mess you made

Just so you can leave and fucking start again

Leave me left to decay, just to fade away

Get out of here before it's too late

Nothing but glass, ash and these harrowing thoughts

Sprawled on this table that used to host us

Question all my blessings

Clock ticking, bottle half-empty

I re-collect how I could feel us slowly slipping apart How could this ever have happened?

How long has it even been

Since I've fallen into this rut

That I'm destined to keep

Leave me to pick up the pieces

How long will it be

'Til I can break free from this grief?

When all you've left me with are empty sheets

The lines kept discreet

Oh there's no matter of time

Because we'll never see

Where it went or how it was spent

Loathing the day that we ever met

I've learnt to believe in things that I can't see

I'll continue to bite my tongue

Because it's all I've ever known

Will you turn away when I leave it to bleed?

Because that's all I have to show

The poison spreads

And it halts my pulse

How can I learn to say I'm sorry?

When the words surface my throat I choke
