All it takes is a heartbeat

By Kinkypoptart

The memories so sweet
-Attention insignificant-

I start myself off with the flick of a pen
There I go... gone once again
Lost in translation...
Fumbling with damnation
Much too tired to start once more
Stupid, Stupid little whore
I woke to find myself terrified
Confused and exhausted, I cried
On the floor again, covered in pity
Intentions good, reactions are shitty
So once again... I sit down with this page
Trying so hard to spit out my rage
Oh what i'd give to once again be pure
It'll never happen, of that i'm sure

Rolling out this sketchpad, I draw
All the shit in my head, I saw
Shades of purple, black and blue
Too bad I can't just forget about you
Ink spread across my paper, meaningless
It's not a work of art, I confess
Useless scribbles on the page of this book
Another shitty story upon which you must look
He says it's no use, just give it a rest
What does he know... Nothing at best
I came and I saw, the horrors of life
Now swollen and abandoned... I pick up a knife
Deep through the pages, I dig the tip in
And with this small relief... I do nothing but grin

All it takes is a heartbeat... to ruin your life
