I am just a flaw in your character
And it’s so hard to see when the light from my halo has been extinguished
But I’m falling now
Far from grace
And soon the flame will guide me
A drop of blood falls from my flesh and distracts you for a moment
Distracts you from the things that are priority
But as soon as a tear is shed, your attention shifts away from what matters most
To the things that don’t concern us
You leave me in your wake to drift and drown amongst these promises
The ones you left behind
The ones that dropped to the ground and shattered with my heart
The heart you so casually pierced when you stuck the knife through my back
I’m telling myself to get over you and all of the things you said you meant
But for now, that little voice in my head is cackling, “I told you so”
Just like before.
