ateolf | "Army of Skeletons"

She told me she loves me
She said she still loves him
As much as I tried to ignore her
The words crept under my skin
I was trapped into complacency
A small animal frozen in her sight
So I went as far away as I could
To accept that I was not right

But she couldn't be satisfied
She had to hold me and track me down
She parted her hair and
an army of lice came forth
Devouring the flesh of
everyone around me
Now stripped bare,
She had an army of skeletons at her disposal
Waving a hand,
She called them to arms
To crush me and cut open my neck
But they did nothing
For they were just a pile of bones
With no other means left
She said "I love you" one last time
It used to always hurt me
When I thought it was a shield,
But now I know that it's a sword
. . .now I know that it's a sword. . .
