Upon a hanging Body

October will cure me
Jan 5, 2025

The ceiling cracks are bleeding through,
They spell your name in shades of blue.
I lit a match to chase the dark,
But it only burned my beating heart.

I tried to hold you close, but you slipped right through,
I bled myself dry just to carry you.

And when the daylight breaks, you'll see what's left of me,
A shadow of the promise that you swore you'd always keep.
I tried to keep the fire, but it burned me where I stand,
Now I'm learning how to hate you with the ashes falling from my hands.

The walls are bleeding fire through,
Each flame a scar that leads to you.
I held the embers, but they burned deep,
Now all that's left is the ashes I keep.

The ending's carved in stone, it's written on my skin,
The love we thought would last is where our pain begins.

And when the daylight breaks, you'll see what's left of me,
A shadow of the promise that you swore you'd always keep.
I tried to keep the fire, but it burned me where I stand,
Now I'm learning how to hate you with the ashes falling from my hands.

Was I the ghost inside your shadow?
Was I the voice you never heard?
I screamed until my lungs collapsed,
But you never heard a word.

And when the daylight breaks, you'll see what's left of me,
A shadow of the promise that you swore you'd always keep.
I tried to keep the fire, but it burned me where I stand,
Now I'm learning how to hate you with the ashes falling from my hands.
