STAB
stab
(March 7, 2001)
pierce my flesh with the shards of your broken promises
slash at my heart with the blades of your l’s
look
listen
like
love
club me with the heaviness of your lies
never, ever, forever
and when you’ve done all that
nail my coffin shut with the dots in your i’s
i
am not the one
i
am not the one
you
might love me with all you got
but what you got is not enough
i cannot
live like this
betrayal with a kiss
betrayal with your lips
i could wonder whether you loved my
body before you loved my mind
but it doesn’t matter
as the body was given up by the mind
in exchange for love
but the mind doesn’t understand
even after countless experiences
that i can’t make you love me
with my body
because my body
cant keep you
you
say you love me with all you got
but what you got just ain’t enough for me
because i have inhaled men who promised me more
and i have been with men who done me better
maybe i got entranced by your eyes
enthralled by your lies
and by the music i was hypnotized
but i hope you don’t love me because
i ate you out the best
and i hope you don’t love me because
you might get a poem written about you
and i’m not saying i’m stronger than you but
you don’t have to worry about my blood on your hands
so
pierce my flesh with the shards of your broken promises
slash at my heart with the blades of your l’s
look
listen
like
love
club me with the heaviness of your lies
never, ever, forever
and when you’ve done all that
nail my coffin shut with the dots in your i’s
i
am not the one
i
am not the one
i
must now love you with all i got left
because all i got is the words you left me
i create my weapons
with those words
i exact my revenge
with those phrases
i lure you into the land mines of my mind
and your world evaporates into nothingness
because you forgot and slipped on my simile
and i exchange your body for your mind
because i gave up my body for your mind
but it doesn’t matter
that the mind doesn’t understand
because now
i have no body
now i have no mind
i am verse
and verse needs but a voice
you
cannot love me with all you got
because all you got is the shadow of a fraction of
what you think love is
and that for damn sure ain’t enough
just as my body wasn’t enough
to capture your mind
and your mind wasn’t enough
to tame my verse
and my verse still can’t change your lies
and i hope you don’t remember me
because i wrote a poem about you
and i hope this doesn’t make you love me
remember me because i was the voice
the unspoken word that made you say
“i wonder what he’s doing now”
so
pierce my flesh with the shards of your broken promises
slash at my heart with the blades of your l’s
look
listen
like
love
club me with the heaviness of your lies
never, ever, forever
and when you’ve done all that
nail my coffin shut with the dots in your i’s
i
am not the one
i
am not the one
