Fragments

I was on the brink of insanity
Cuz of the things I went through
It murdered my humanity
And any graciousness I could afford

I would have cut my hair
If it made u treat me fair
I would have gouged out my eyes
To put an end to your lies
I would have chopped off my fingers
If I could make the good moments linger

You rendered me heartless
While I gave you mine
You left me faithless
And I didn’t see the signs

I would rip and slice my skin
And drag you from within
Even spill out my own blood
Just to feel the peace again
I would slash my throat
Before I call your name once more
I would sever my feet
If I find myself looking for your shore

And I find myself in pieces
Shards and splinters piercing through me
And my love lies there, bleeding
And the wounds running deep

If my heart was ever repossessed
It becomes mine, only mine
I’d keep it under lock and key
And mask it over time

This I promise, so help me God
If I hear one more beat
I would do what I do best
I would dig it out
And grind it into specks of dust…
