Severance from the Virus

Raise your hand and solemnly swear

that the battle is over

and we have cleared the air.

Rest my worry on-top of your nonchalance

pull out the pliers

and pry open the locks.

-

Untangle me untangle me 

from the vines that bind this beating thing inside my chest.

Rescue me rescue me

cut the cords tied around this organ and ill fix the rest.

-

You gave up so quickly while I kicked and screamed.

There was so much more here than you ever could’ve dreamed.

-

So now I’m away and still you remain

passive yet pushy

like you have nothing to gain.

So much left to say

but way less to do

I guess all I’ve got are the memories with you.

-

Untangle me untangle me 

from the vines that bind this beating thing inside my chest.

Rescue me rescue me

cut the cords tied around this organ and ill fix the rest.

-

You gave up so quickly while I kicked and screamed.

There was so much more here than you ever could have dreamed.

-

Now we are both older but I’m smarter too.

There’s not a piece of me left that still wants to be with you.

Some may say I’ve grown wise,

but that’s not the case.

Once unblinded, it was written all over your face.

Because now I see the lies and I see the deceit 

And it’s now, my darling, I wonder why I let us repeat.

-

Untangle me untangle me 

from the vines that bind this beating thing inside my chest.

Sever me sever me

cut the cord that is tied to you and that will fix me best.

-

You gave up so quickly while I kicked and screamed.

There’s nothing left here because you’re not what you seemed.
