title: Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday stranger
Here's to a joyous day
I hope you don't lie wasted
In your own pool of tears

On your birthday
dear stranger
please don't slit your wrists
and color the tiles amber
it leaves a stubborn stain

For your birthday
lovely stranger
although it's lonely and cold
I wish you a happy day
Oh beautiful stranger
I give you this happy day.


title: the biggest sin was when I said I love you and meant it

So you said "Hush
this won't hurt
not if you start screaming
it wouldn't, so

Put that guard down
and let your instincts go
we'll start having fun
because I say so
sweet baby
honey
because I say so

"Forget all about the blood"
and I'll focus on this love
as my nails dig into you
I'll be the only girl
you ever think of

as you say

Put that guard down
and let your instincts go
we'll start having fun
because I say so
sweet baby
honey
because I say so

Please.
Don't.
Stop.

"As you say so
sweet baby
honey
as you say so".


title: you came too late bitch

It's always a sad face
It is never yours
It is real and unexplored
It shows my heart at its best
before I lay crumpled on the floor

I would have been better off
If you came earlier
Or didn't bother coming at all
For there's no room for your words of caution,
While I'm writhing from my fall

Now my tears have dried
And my heart no longer mends
I am bent,
I am broken,
I am battered,
There is nothing left to hold
in your outstretched hands
