“The Break Up Song“ by Lauren Ruth Ward

“The Break Up Song” written by Lauren Ruth Ward If I saw you in person, I’d beg for you back Scream, cry about all the good that we had Your gaslight would burn all night on full blast while I beg you to listen and hand you your ass Your backbone would bend so much it would snap My reason wouldn’t fix your past You made up in your mind, you can only trust yourself Let me know how that works out for you in your living hell If you’d just give in to your attainable needs So us mind-reading fools wouldn’t have to kill your disease And it creeps up on me like a horrible anxiety dream except I’m awake believing Only breathing is keeping me living I guess forever to you meant a means to an end While my forevеr love drug is gifting me bends I yеll to myself as I’m making your bed Turn off the house alarm but not the one in my head I go out to the front yard where we planted fruit trees That will feed your next lover the vitamin C
