Dead to You

look into these eyes
feel their sincerity
and take for granite all that is me
don’t think it hurts
waiting, worrying, wishing

use me like a toy
pleasure and pride
kiss my body and hate me inside
my soul waits for
loving, listening, learning

thoughts burn my insides
knives in my heart
smile and take what you need
while I lie
thinking, screaming, dying

just carry me away
burn my body
and scatter my ashes into the wind
after all, I'm dead to you
meaningless, hopeless, worthless

I disappear...

Hmm well stated and something very relatable. "smile and take what you need" I know this feeling, the lack of care after getting used to being used. Very well written. ~Urban Shipwreck~
