smashing

you light me up
and fan my flames
i’m buring a live
my skin is charred
permanent scars
but i still stay.

you break me down
and shatter my pieces
i’m falling apart
my skin is cracked
permanent scars
but i still stay.

this scar tissue isn’t going to fade
it’s permanent, like my feelings for you
i like the way you feel.
cool metal blades
and disapproving glances.
i love the way you feel.

i miss you today
why must you always go?
you know how much i love you
you’ll never let me go
i’m covered in memories of you
pink flesh, and sunburns
crystaline tears that fall

you never call.
