like knives

your words are like knives

they peel my skin and pierce my soul. your body will burn tonight. though your heart may still remain cold

and i will blame myself

and i will blame myself

for holding on to what i hoped would keep you by my side

i will blame myself

the sheets are stained with. memories of your soft kiss

now this is all i have

paper and pen to remember you with

and i will blame myself

and i will blame myself

for holding on to what i hoped would keep you by my side

i will blame myself

can i have you.
