another night longing for peace, my eyes burning holes in the black.
the sting of day comes too soon. you carried on, deafened by the silence i started again.
and still, nothing’s shaped me like you have, for better or for worse.
your rage still echoes through me, i’ll hold this until my body dies.
blood on your hands, blood in my eyes, blood on the sheets where you used to lie.
i can’t erase something like that.
but you’ve found a way to move on.
i can’t erase something like that from my heart.
haunted by the pain of loneliness beside you.
to love and loss and longing.
you took everything, you took my life before i could.
the suffering does matter anymore, to me.
i am a casualty.
