Friday Night Lover
by fromfiretoashes
You thought you could be different
That perhaps you would get better with time
Filled yourself with this false hopes of adequacy
Recited all your prayers, all your lines
You poor pathetic creature
You will never feel the warmth of light
Your soul belongs to darkness
It is time to give up your sad little fight
I know you best through years of pain
How could you ever think you could be enough?
You may keep trying to be something more
But deep down you know you can never truly be loved
You are a fucking disgrace with no worth
Go ahead, dig your nails into a fist
It won’t stop the truth of my words
It won’t stop the thoughts of red wrists
I am the only one who will take you now
They are better off without you, don’t you see?
I will keep you safe and care for you
If you promise to stop trying to leave
You wandered so far from your place, my pet
It is time to climb back into this bed of dark blue
You were not meant to be with another in this world
Come, lie with me once more and escape into darker hues
