i can’t live like this
half in the shadows and hating the light
the slow chipping of bone
between the broken mirrors
and the shreds of hope
starving all the time
gnawing off my hands and feet
sometimes hoping you’ll choke
i swore i swore
i’d eat what you ate
sleep where you sleep
that i’d take the fire and the brands
that i’d sit in the pit and hold your hand
i swore i’d see you through it
and hell knows i meant it
but you just don’t get it
i love you by the skin of your teeth
