My nightmares of you have finally slowed The smirk on your face is starting to dull The lies you told have lost their hold The mask you wore has lost its host The damage you’ve done is unresolved Yet I take steps to be absolved Of any debts you left ignored You can’t repress my…

Crumbs
Breathe in, breathe out you cut some cords that did nothing for you but leave lines blurred You got some attention in vacant ways, minute moments of an endorphin filled daze Then felt the let-down, inevitably empty, no hope for love and consistency, it’s what you’re used to at your core, they give you crumbs…
