By the Wayside

3 Mar

I’m falling by the wayside
I’m breaking down the door
I’m trapped in the chaos
I’m crawling on the floor
I’m clutching at your ankles
I’m gasping at your throat
I’m pulling my hair out
You’re watching me choke
My skin is in ribbons
My heart’s being grilled
My time has all vanished
It’s had it’s fill
Your hands move clockwise
Your face stays still
I fall through these wires
I laid out to kill
You chase me in circles
I swallow my words
My lips are bleeding
Your pride is burned
I tear you apart
You set me alight
I smother your lungs
You fade in the night
You call out my name
I whisper your threats
You take it all in
‘Til it makes me wretch
I’m coated in bruises
It wasn’t your fault
I fell by the wayside
I made this assault
I carried my burdens
You carried them too
I wanted so much
For me and for you
I needed so much
To make us two
I’m coated in bruises
My hands turned blue
I fell by the wayside
You fell with me too.
