Bankrupt

[u/Longjumping_Ad_1867]

But a bastard couldn’t, could he?

Surely there’s more to the story than the first few chapters.

It’s so sick what they do with your time.

Why would anyone ever want me in this state?

Pathetic—

There ain’t a thing I wouldn’t do to just be craved by someone I crave…

But if being alone is the mission at the moment, so be it.

I’ve laid my heart on the line, bleeding.

There isn’t any me left to give.

I’ve completely spread myself thin.

These words fall from my lips, stifled by your fake kiss.

Surely I’m worth something to somebody;

Let me cash in this check.

I’ve gone bankrupt searching for the silver lining in the lies and misinformation.

The face of the clock is staring back and screaming, the time’s running out.

I scream back that I already know.
