Erase

Time moves like a snail,

Trying to erase you.

For enough is enough,

Feels like a thousand-

Ice cold knives.

Plunging into me,

Give back.

My eyes, filled with-

Shabby kohl.

By broken nights,

And crocodile tears.

My ears,

Trusting a sound no more.

By your lies spread wide-

Like the ocean.

My lips,

Unable to taste or speak.

Destroyed by your kisses.

My mind,

Living in an illusion.

By what seemed to be,

And

my heart-

Ripped, shattered,

Broken and burnt into-

Pieces I need to survive.

Unable to stop hoping,

For what wasn't even true.

To begin with,

Tired of this stabbing pain;

Struggling to identify-

The face in the mirror.

The face seeming,

More alien than

Anything I've seen.

Give me back to me and,

I will teach me.

Teach me to hate you,

Unlove you, forget you,

And erase you, so to breathe.

I wish it was true but,

Who am I kidding?
