I'm Here

Between the sorrow and the feigned, yeah

Your pity, oh so sacred
The emotion that we wasted
It seethed into our veins

The vitriol exaggerated

I'll sever off my ear, friend
And mail it straight to you, yeah
I'm stuck here in the middle
So I might as well post my impression

Gogh-damn, girl, you paint my
Heart black
But I won't vex
Caught up in your vortex

The feud is so cerebral
So let's bask in the surreal
And show'em how we lose our heads

'Burn out, baby, cuz you got a lotta nothing
To burn about'

I'll be your f*****g hatred
The darkness you escape in
The guilt you've been betraying
(And I'm no goddamn saint, ha)
If one day we'll meet again

Burn out, baby, cuz we got a lotta nothing
To burn about

The drama's fakin', but who could blame you
Screaming from a bleeding heart...

The truth is sadder than we are

I like the way you have used the Van Gogh story as a way into this. Stark and sudden angry words with much obvious passion here. Well constructed.

eeeeeeyow! painful bad ...eech! i like the Gogh play .. content to me is a unique perspective on that line between real emotion and drama involved (sometimes) in a nasty breakup .. your protagonist wrapped up in a one-sided/unbalanced relationship it seems .. anger the first phase of grieving strikes out ... it seems this "courtship" may have been emotional way too deeply charged to begin with ..and the breakup seems very messy .. and the truth hurts .. but heals ..i love this very dark romance and burn .. well done says i .. with hopes it is far from being confessional .. life is already hard enough eh!? ;) vivid imagery, seethingly emotive .. captivating read for me ..so i say ..well done!

"This emotional wasteland seethes the veins of vitriol and exaggeration" is a great line. lol, Van Gogh. :)
Pretty good. It "seethes" with some sort of melancholic anger. I enjoyed this one, especially the structure.
