What We Became 

Get out of my head

I don’t love you anymore

You’re with someone else

I’m an arsenic apple core

You flicker through my thoughts

Of desire and jealousy 

Haunt my nights like a ghost

Howling insecurity.

I’m still stuck in a world

That never was.

A sweet young dream,

A suffocated love.

So many memories

Congealed by age

Time passes quickly

‘Neath November skies

Still nothing really changes

And everybody lies

The sky is slowly weeping

Tears of blood for the land

As time has unfolded

You could never understand

The worst wounds we can receive

Are dealt by our own hands.
