Scar

You see you hurt me

But you're sweet lava burning me
Sweet? Cause I love it
 
I did not understand that
When by SalePlus">your volcanoes blew up
Had occurred from small things 
 
My love for you has
Nourished and stayed like old trees
But you fail to notice
 
A patch of wet grass
You by SalePlus">step on it, not knowing
How dirty your shoes are
 
I never did care for
The ocean's salt that stung my eyes
I swam wand'ring for you
 
Eyes, eyes bored through oceans
A wave comes up and I see
You gazed right behind me
 
Like a koala hung
I pretend I sleep by you
Wake up in absence 
 
Boy oh boy you drive 
Like bullet by SalePlus">trains in cornfields 
Not a care for lost
 
I accepted your call
But not in a'way that woke me
Rather stunned in dreamland
 
You left prints all over
My now red and punctured heart
A feeling all fake
 
Paper planes, dead heart
A mind corrupted, ignite the fuel
Tattoos all over arms
 
They say he's worthless
Thirteen percent pessimism
A secret world in line
 
Moment of honesty
We sit like vines, ready to entangle
Then you touched her
 
-j.a
