Barren

Curdled like milk in the summer heat, my skin’s gone soft My head is spoiled, my heart’s a rabid dog trying to put its teeth in you, you thought you saw light but it was forest fires eating me alive My limbs are dead and dry, my ribcage cradles dirt and weeds, I’m empty inside And I will never be able to love you, I couldn’t if I tried And I will lay down next to you, but i fear a dead body would Feel warm compared to mine, cause I’m barren on the inside, I’m barren on the inside You tried to make love to my empty womb, tried to stuff me like a doll with pieces of you But it all seeps from my loosened seams, i took myself apart and cut off my strings, and scraped the remains from my starving bowels, collected them into garbage piles To try in bags, sink in the lake, and bury at the bottom all my sad mistakes Cause I will never be able to love you, I couldn’t if I tried And I will lay down next to you, but I fear a dead body would feel warm compared to mine, cause I’m barren on the inside I’m barren on the inside
