I'm a skeleton of who I used to be
and my bones are made of feelings
that could only consume me
my eyes are holes because
I wished I wouldn't see

my hands are loose and shaking
the rattling is loud
like a porcelain plate that's breaking 
this mind was not for your taking

I'm a shattered vase on the floor
that you stepped on, said so poor
apologies that you didn't mean
and ordered for the help to clean

and the shards that made you bleed
were not noticed until late
but you ignored that too
just another avoided fate

I'm a shadow on the walls
that lined everything I've ever done
I wondered who it was
when the whole time I was the one

and I follow and I listen
to the things you said to those that glisten
that held the tea made up of 
your original recipe and arsenic 

I'm a mask that cracked halfway 
and you put it on anyway
to that fine dance with the prince 
that was saying what you wanted him to say

I'm a mistake on the letter of a lover
that was blurred out and written over
and while the receiver never saw me
that name you wrote lingered in the air

and it danced and fell
onto the hands of the wrong person
that revealed your mistake to everyone
while saying "I wish you well"

I'm a monster in the closet
of a child that couldn't see
I sat there and I drew them hearts
but they never noticed me

I guess it was easier to say
that I soon had faded away
because I didn't seek fear
I just wanted to make their day

I'm not what you want me to be
but if you'll settle for it I'll be me
and maybe then you'll start to see

and I fell and I screamed
for hours and for days
and I pondered and I wondered
how I could know what to say

but the answer never came to be
because I fell away, you see
to a world made up of friends
I said walking towards that place
"so this is the end"
