Consumed

Self-Sabotage

By The Girl in GreyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I've brought angels to their knees

I've let my words go too far

Somehow in the moment I can't see

The existence of a human heart

Let there be no more coal in my chest

A cracked egg shell, ignorant mind

Put these grotesque demons to rest

Show me you're still here, I need a sign

I'm sorry that I've torn your sleeves off

I'll find a way to stop this

I promise I'll change so an apology can be enough

I'll become a person worthy of being missed

Stop crying, because I can't look for more than two seconds

One for disgust and another for guilt

They hurt, I can hear the heavens beckon

For you, for the pure souled, the perfectly built

I can't buy forgiveness, so it sits there

Rotting inside a glass case, not knowing when

I'll claim it, everyday it's button eyes just stare

I am the beast, consumed by my own sins

Love always,

Chayle
