in the interest of mine
and only mine
i'm taking my shoulder
and the blame
not enough for you to be significant
just enough for me
to learn from
the greatest hand
you ever gave
was the push out the door
come back to me
and let me be the one to ignore
to shame you for once and for all
i'm getting the taste back in my mouth again
of secrets you kept
and i don't give dirty looks anymore
i'm just razor teeth
inside of a tightly clenched mouth
i don't want this pulse
that used to breathe
that you used to invite
i'm become disingenuous
because i can't let you see me
i am ill
with a sickness made of losing youth
all to you
all to what you represent
