You Don't

Cover your eyes you don't want to see what happens next,
This is a bitter goodbye like the scent of a last cigarette
On your lips, on your stained fingertips, like imprints of fists
In the mattress above, in the cardboard below
And deep into the depths of your soul.
Cover your ears, you don't want to hear this...
Silence the laughter, with one glance of those glaciers
And no sound will ever escape your lips again.
Your voice echoing absentmindedly through my rib-cage
As you scream your frustrations deep in my soul
And I forgive you for everything you've done,
You have ever done or ever will do.
Cover your lips, you don't want to say this,
You don't mean the horrible things you tell yourself
Late at night when you look in the mirror
And all that stares back is the ghost of who we were...
You're out of breath, I know. It's like a never ending marathon
In which escape from yourself is impossible but you try,
Maybe this is the mile you outrun your demons,
Maybe at this bend you'll finally lose the regrets.
Cover yourself, our last words to each other are coming
And they're aimed towards our souls, sharp as Tungsten needles
Ready to strike and separate us from ourselves, from each other...
Cover yourself, you don't want to feel what happens next,
The break of an unbreakable bond, and like Rupert's drop,
One word exploded into constellations,
A shower of needles and there's now a plague on both of our souls.
