Lips

My lips are broken, cut, and torn

Too early to be used or worn

I peel them off so that he leaves

To taste blood instead of memories

These tired lips are always haunted 

By the ghost of his, warm and unwanted

If they stay he stays too

So I'll rip them off to get rid of you

    Preach about showing it all

    To let yourself be bare and raw

    It's just a trend, it's just a phase

    You'll forget about in the next few days

    I don't want to be a survivor, I don't want to be brave

    I don't want to be stronger, I don't want to be saved

    I don't want to be tested to see if I'll do it right

    I don't want your God to use me to fix your broken life.
