stood naked before you
all that i am, true
my heart in my hand
conveying it to you
the ghost of a man
drowning in poison
i didn't know then
all your grand gestures
were played by the actors
it wasn't you there
you argued with voices
you wanted & chose to
screaming your life doubt
punching the walls out
but i was right there
you cherished the bottle
pushing full throttle
angry at strangers
kept me in danger
until you fell there
the lies & the cheating
you kept my heart bleeding
choking in air like a sauna
you searched for the trauma
wanting to live there
stuck in this cycle
we lived in denial
you promised me better
then went & felt her
gone, i no longer was there
