bed of bones

Still rise
Still cry
Still struggle sometimes to reply
Still get sad thinking about all the friends who chose you over me
Still sing
Still write
Still fester
Still fight
Still go to bed in a seething rage sometimes
But I don't sleep on a bed of bones no more

Still shrink
Still hide
Still set my discomforts aside
Still doubt my own experiences sometimes
You taught me that
Still hold myself to unachievable standards
Still measure my worth in my usefulness to others
You taught me that too
I still fear love for the poison it can turn into
I can still count on the fact that when I go to sleep
I'll dream of you treating me like the shit you believe me to be
But I don't sleep on a bed of bones no more

I don't sleep on a bed of bones no more
I don't sleep on a bed of bones no more
I don't sleep on a bed of bones no more
