Syringes

Look past the obvious and see the metaphor of something tragically beautiful

Take all I've got until your full
Contaminate and taint it
Push back everything you pulled

Temporarily were as one
So caring yet so damaging
I'm left empty overdone
Why does this keep happening?

Love and pain
Placing blame
Compassion is irrelevant
When the end results always the same

I've grown accustomed to the way
You get underneath my skin
How can I hate you for something that I welcome in?
Desire for relief
as brief as it may be
You've Become my instrument of misery

Apathy is insidious
Compassion is to blame
But it's all irrelevant
The end result is still the same

So indifferent to it all
Is anything behind your eyes?
Do you even care at all?
I'm dying to see you come alive

Bleeding out what goes to you
Keeping all that filters through
What you're giving back to me
Reprieve from this reality
It's no ones fault but my own
I let you leave me cold and hollow
Broken and alone

Apathetic personality
Finally got the best of me
Does it matter that I tried to change?
When the end result is still the same?
