HEARTACHE

Take off that pretty mask, darling

I know what you really are.

Don't fear, don't fret

It's not that far

Finish it now.



Just like I knew straight from the start,

Knew you were more than this

Go ahead and prove me wrong.



Get rid of that smirk, baby

I know you're more than

Cockiness and false promises

I know you're more than

Primitive, selfish bullshit.



Go ahead and hide behind your

Bearing and selfishness,

While I'm here on my knees,

Being fed your stupid lies

Like the rusty dog that I am.



Keep twisting and mangling

My words of love and patience

To things of your dark desire,

To things that you wish them to be.



Do it, Do it, Do it,

Keep your fucking mask,

Your selfishness, your bullshit.



Keep my patience locked up inside this

Pretty glass jar, held in your hands

As it cracks and splinters in your tight grasp

Leaving you with nothing but bleeding love

Dripping and coagulating at your feet.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Deeper and deeper I plunge into darkness and uncaring.

Oh! I really like this a lot. Even the swear words seem to be perfectly in place, and do not damage this piece at all, but in fact seem to enhance and belong. This is written in such a way that I could never write myself. Great job...

Thank you! This is one of my personal favorite pieces, though I tend to believe it still needs some work to flow correctly. I appreciate the kind words :)
