elapse


the little girl inside of me
i shot her dead, right through the heart
and filled the syringe of my needs
with her blood
the little girl that never was a part of me
a parasite that sickens, brings me to my knees
the residue of destiny
drips down the sewers of a soul
without a surface or a flesh to make it whole
to make it real
but i don’t feel
all the things i’m supposed to feel
when there’s a part of me gone blind
sinking deep into regret
wanting only to forget the damage done
the suicide
in breaking mirrors that remind me of myself
but who am i
when there is nothing left to break
the nobodies who believe
that words are all that they can speak
and i could die and let it go
if only it were that simple
but hell burns hotter here than everywhere
and surely i would freeze
forever perfect
in the eyes of innocence
that never blink to make a wish
to bring that little girl back
and bring to life the life i lack
faster than the speed of light
burned up in all the years gone by
