M's Poetry
Rosita
It's my empathy that takes me prisoner
and you hold all my keys
locks me inside this psychological warfare
months have passed and I am still left standing here
never have I really moved
in this heart I can't feel indifferent
but you so easily can
why am I always left with the torn heartstrings?
Take this life just squeeze it out
make these smiles as stiff as cardboard
cuz it's all I can produce
Scratched and torn I lay here in pieces
Craving all of your deadly vices
Like to think that I'm not addicted
But I guess I wear it well
see the mask is now glued on
you can't even tell
Just because you know my name
why do I have to crawl through sh*t?
Just because you say you love me
why do I feel so terrible?
Just because you act as if I don't exist
why do I feel caged in misery?
