One Promise I'll Keep

My skin is split and scarring
With every one of their lies

And every word that pierces you;
The tears fall from my eyes

it's broken, it's bleeding,
it's stuck in my throat

I'm starting to spiral,
I'm starting to choke

I didn't know I could scream in pain
For a life that's not even mine

I like to pretend it isn't true
but it happens all the time

I want to spill it; all the blood
and I don't mean my own

I mean her, her filth, her fucking lies
and the shit from which she's grown

She doesn't even have to touch you
To make me twitch and shudder

She's not a person, she's a worm
she's hurt the one I call my lover

I can rant, I can rave
and scream to the sky

Or cry and whimper,
I can wish to die

I wish I could hold you,
I wish I could make it okay

I'm too far away to save you,
but I will, one day...
