Toxic

By Gary Lee Parker

I am toxic
To all the legs I spread
To every life I love
Now wishing I was dead

Now wishing back the time
They wasted holding up
My bent and broken mind
While I’m pissing in their cup

For what? For love?
What is it anyway?
This feeling, this rushing
Chemical mess that holds such sway?

Was it worth it?
Oh, god no. God, no!
I hear them softly say,
I wish I didn't love you so.

I wish I could forget
Undo the missing years
Close my eyes and pass you by
And dry my empty tears.

You are toxicYou've used me up complete
And sucked the marrow from my bones
Left me in defeat

They all move on
I watch them go away
I blame them for their lack of heart
Heartless bitches never stay

But here inside I know
It’s really not them, it’s me
I am toxic to the bone
And they've just broken free.
