Cut it up and throw it away
Start a fire and burn all remains
Carve into my skin your initials
Watch the blood as it overflows
Listen as I scream your name

I've played your games once again
Lost all I'd hoped to gain
Painted circles around your photo
Ink dripping to form a heart
Tearing imperfections apart

Sketch your beauty into me
Love is a poisoned conformity
Drag the needle through my skin
Inject your disease into sin
Hand over the world then steal it again

Cursive letters cross your heart
Listen closely as our words bleed out
Silence overrides the screaming
Sharpen my tears so they cut into you
Close your eyes and hope to die
Full Title: Cross Your Heart and Hope To Die

I wrote the title before I wrote the poem. So basically, the title is the main message that I wanted to get across.

Don't understand what I mean?
Me either.
