i've never had a home so i tried to make my own
but nobody told me you can't make homes from human bones
i got lost in the forest of your ribcage, climbed the tower that is your spine
crawled through your rotting liver in the hopes that i'd find
somewhere to rest my weary head but instead i found a vacancy sign
where your heart should've been & i thought about
leaving but your voice just made it so inviting
i didn't realize how fragile the tissue was and your body came crashing down around me
my world came crashing down around me but that isn't your fault
i made this bed so i'll ******* lie in it
while you lie in every word that drips from your leaky mouth
you left me drenched in blood, crumpled on the ground and homeless
i tried to stand but found that my back was boneless
i guess you didn't learn from me- you can't make a home in a place you're not meant to be
and you can't build the walls from the skeletons you've collected
you never had a closet to put them in so what else were you supposed to do?
you're supposed to ******* set them free
and that's how i know you never loved me
