Indelible

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

I don’t want to break your glass heart.
I don’t want to cut your numb skin.
I don’t want to see your crimson blood flow.
But I won’t lose to let you win.

I don’t want to rip your ragged hair
I don’t want to crack your hollow chest
I don’t want to smash your thoughtless skull
But I’ll leave at once, at your behest.

I don’t want to slit your feeble throat
I don’t want to cleave your sightless eyes
I don’t want to mute your deafening voice
But how do I silence your rickety lies?

I don’t want to break your glass heart
Though I don’t want to see it whole
I didn’t see you break my wall
And if I could, I’d crush your soul.
