Rope (Part III)

These Ribs are closing in on a heart that’s barley pumping blood so hot
the inside of my veins are scalded with the characters of your name
So you stand here after all it takes to reach the end of this path that we paved
holding nothing but mistakes
staring at the ground shamefully avoiding gaze

So breathe in and I’ll breathe out
and together we can drag this to the ground
You’ve earned your rope and I’ve earned that anger to watch you choke
I won’t ever be here again, you’ve taken more from me that I was willing to give
So good bye and fare well, but forgive me if I don’t wish you all my best

With Nails digging in the palms of my hand
and knuckles yearning for an even score
I’ll clench my fists but restrain because the silence you created between us
Says even more

These flames paint a picture, a burning bridge that screams
“We’ve taken this too far”
So when all the smoke clears we can see ourselves for who we really are
