do people think they can just go
hurting people like they paint pictures
so easily but memorable
leaving scars no one can heal
you didn’t even ask me if i’m okay
you broke my heart and ran away
i’m tired of myself now
you’re the thief of my joy
he’s changing every minute
one moment he loves her
the next one he doesn’t remember her
he makes her feel good
gives her roses, blooming so marvellously
then he destroys the roses
with his own bare hands
without giving any reasons or apologises
or explanations
isn’t this sick?
how seeing her unhappy and ruined
satisfies him
i’m laying in bed
not really in peace with my own presence
i’m just so tired
i can’t believe i survived today
I’m not strong anymore
i just want to sleep
