mmhmm,you,know,the,drill

Late,nights,like,a,routine
that,left,unspoken
has,become,a,part,of,this
masochism,

pain,that
shows,no,scars,
and,a,silent,scratched
refrain.

theres,a,lack,of,melody
in,the,way,you
pull,at,your,hair,

bore,into,
reflection,
trying,
no,control,despite,desire,for

trapped,in
speechless,bubbles
tormented,by,the
need,to,fill,the,space
compulsion,to,
echo,forth,some
carnal,flame
ignited,into
flame,flame,fired
blaze,broken
bursting,
pillars,of,unseen
menacing,black,flames

feet,go,backwards,yes
but,the,path,does,not

unbenificial,regret
injected,through,your,
veins,the,struggle,
left,you,bruised,
and,battered,
torn,and,worn
bleeding,from
no,visible,wound.

could,they,really,have,left,you,here

woult,you,really,have,llet,them

begged,pleaded,screamed,stalked,was,thrown,away
without,words,or,actions

did,it,really,happen,if,the,shadows,call,it,lies

disillusioned,you,forgot

this,was,where,you,were,last,night
they,may,have,passed,through
but,you,were,here,alone.

always,alone
