Joseph the Rat Epstein

I am wrong, you heard right
The nerve to hide my fears and how theyve
Made me unwell
I should have said this before now
Ill say it now
“You were only trying to help.”
She hums what she hears, its clear she is not following my lead
Shes done listening to me
I scribbled and scrawled
I carved and I clawed all of my scripture on top of her body
Its there to remind me that the purpose changed when the person changed
Its strange that Im still hanging on
Learn from my mistakes and Ill wipe away your slate
A clean canvas is used for second chances
Get this over with
I need this off my chest
Come down
Ill slither back to my hole
Come down
I will not like this outcome
I cannot calm down
This is not what youre thinking so dont blink or youll miss it
I try to remember but the pieces dont quite fit
Its just getting blurry and Im closer to thirty then when we first met
Ill save my regrets
I dont want to forget the harm that I caused you
With the words that I said
Please quickly leave to begin without me like before we first met
