• What is this?
    It burns.
    It's hard to choke down.

    It's not bile,
    (but it tastes like it,)
    And what's with this crown

    Of thorns and briers,
    Sticking my head with pins,
    Entering my eyes...

    Jab...
    Jab...
    Jab...

    The tears are coming,
    I don't know why,
    Regret? Probably.

    I just feel so...
    So goddamn...
    Empty.

    No emotions echoing,
    No words coming back to haunt me,
    Just the pain of so many lies...

    Jab...
    Jab...
    Jab...

    I miss the feeling
    Of burning rage,
    Unnatural, unnoticed.

    It filled me, at least,
    But now I don't feel...
    I wish it would open again, a scarlet lotus...

    Thoughts buzz around my head,
    Keeping me up at night,
    Biting at my flesh like horseflies...

    Jab...
    Jab...
    Jab...

    The tears are coming,
    I don't know why,
    Regret? Probably.

    I just feel so...
    So goddamn...
    Empty.

    No emotions echoing,
    No words coming back to haunt me,
    Just the pain of so many lies...

    Jab...
    Jab...
    Jab...

    My actions spoke louder
    Than any shouted word.
    And now I'm filled with adrenaline again...

    The feel of my hands,
    Shoving him down,
    That moment of timeless zen...

    Crashing and burning,
    It hurts to remember,
    The thrown object, clashing, remembering my cries...

    Jab...
    Jab...
    Jab...

    It was foolish, it was foolish,
    He was just being an a**,
    He never meant to make me so angry...

    But I can't forget,
    The adrenaline, it filled me,
    But now I'm just so empty...

    The knot in my chest,
    How do I undo it?
    I don't even know the name of the ties...

    Jab...
    Jab...
    Jab...

    The tears are coming,
    I don't know why,
    Regret? Probably.

    I just feel so...
    So goddamn...
    Empty.

    No emotions echoing,
    No words coming back to haunt me,
    Just the pain of so many lies...

    Jab...
    Jab...
    Jab...

    Jab.
