Breathe

I begin with my bottom lid

and peel the flesh clean from my bones and wave it like a white flag as proof of how I was wrong

I was wrong to forget

I was wrong to edit

the truth into lies that led me to depths of dangerous minds

"Its me, its me you're talking to", I cry

Remember you said it, you say it every time you breathe life into my deadend eyes

I snarl and howl, pace and prowl the nightclubs where you hang your soul to dry

As if to find your remnants on the walls inside

"Don't be dumb" they say to me

"Don't be dumb and forget

and forget

and forget me again
