knife

you know how to hurt me
take my own knife 
stab me in the heart
leave me bleeding on the concrete sidewalk
and say it's love
in case you've forgotten
you're no longer in love with me
because i am not a good fit for you.
i am here
i am here because i love you
but if you don't want me
shut the hell up
and tell me what you want me to do
i can't handle your anger taken out on me
i can't handle communication through spotify
i can't handle not knowing where the landmines are beneath my feet right now
you know damn well how to hurt me
just remember
i know damn well how to hurt you too

    fall to the ground, let it all float away

    look me in the eyes & i'll believe every lie you say

    never have your wallet visible 

    don't listen to music in public 

    everyone's a stranger 

    you're our child; don't scare us.
