Unwelcome Traveler
get out of my brain
I can hear you in there now
between my ears
telling me all the things you have said before
that i don’t want to hear
if you can’t find your way out
you can take a short-cut
through the hole in my chest
where you ripped out my heart
in the passenger seat of your car
the place I used to feel safe
if this exit doesn’t suffice
you can take one of the two holes
located in the middle of my face
yes, these used to be my eyes
until I ripped them out myself
because I could no longer stand to watch
once I saw you drive away
with her in the passenger seat
that used to be my haven
and you threw my heart away
into oncoming traffic
if you still can’t find your way
there is another passage
however be cautious
of the butterflies
that are tearing through my stomach
because they are no longer happy
with the way you make me feel
they will not be merciful if they catch you
and only cause me a gut wrenching pain
everytime i feel you near
they never thought this could be real
so be careful
when you get to close
another hole in my stomach will appear
I wish I could just tell you
or take you out myself
but if I’m being completely honest
i wish I could just fix all the things that you broke
inside my fragile body
because once in me
there was a beating heart in my chest
that held so much love
and there was two eyes in the holes of my face
that saw so much love
and there were no holes in my stomach
that was always so hungry for love
I suppose that is why they are all broken now
because love can be such a wonderful thing
until you are sitting in the passenger seat of a car
filled with it
and give it to another human
who only wants to take it
