i hope the next person you’re with loves all of your flaws like i did
even when they felt like claws, tearing me away
the claws that dug so deep i still have scars
i hope the next person you’re with doesn’t make you angry
that’s a fire no one can put out, i tried and only got burned
i hope the next person you’re with knows their worth
and does NOT let you take that from them
i hope they don’t get blinded by the way you say their name
particularly with those three words on the end
if your claws get deep into their back,
they can feel it in their bones
i hope they push them back out and say NO MORE
i really hope the next person you’re with gets treated better than i did
and this may be messed up, maybe it’s just
your roots are grown in me
i secretly wish they don’t make you forget me
Still Breathing
