ghostsofyou - Can you hear it... — Description
skin fades to white as the days progress

but the part that is buried behind this paper-thin pretense stretched over bones -

     it just keeps getting darker

tell me, does it worry you how i talk

  would you give anything to correct these flaws

paste sunshine and smiles over my shame with this cheap glue you called “love”

   well put your hands back in your pockets boy,
because i’m not on the market for knock-out glances and overestimated intent

         and your compassion is a waste of my despair

   close those eyes then
shelter your hopes with holding-back-the-rain black clouds
   ...just waiting for the moment that they rupture

   but i said i’d be there

my heart like some form of worn-out and overused insulation
    trying so hard to absorb the world’s pain

   until i realize;
i’ve done nothing but amplify and expand it’s impact

    one last time i’ll hold the words on the edges of my lips
  my fingers leaving bruises around all the places they try to escape

         you are me,
        only inverted.

   and i have been at a loss for some time now.
