How could i not love when you're my other half
You stoked the flame into my heart
And let my ashes turn to / become dust
I thought i knew trust but your my house of cards
I was left in the cold
Forgotten in disregard
With a chest full of secrets
I've watched and waited
To take my place
But I promise you what we shared
Not a soul will know
I treated you as a brother in arms
But you treated me as an obstacle in your way
Our bonds were meant to protect us
But Who said we'd be unharmed?
I hope the roots sink deeper
And I hope your neck chokes
Bury all my pieces
And separate my skin from bone
Cut open my heart
And carve a symbol of hope
Like a flood upon the plains
Your love for me was sown in disdain
The truth never bloomed
Not with these empty conditions you hold
Like moths to a flame
I'm attracted to what I hate
Like moths to a flame
Feel the notches in my ribs
Like it's the only thing you know
How much I yearn for your deeds to forever be untold
Bury all my pieces
And separate my skin from bone
Cut open my heart
And carve a symbol of hope
These walls were built to protect you
But now they only keep me safe from you
The writings at the seams
My words my parting gift for you
