Throatless and Screaming

My values escape me as I sleep
Devil's tail surrounds me
Drags me from this empty room
Clawing, screaming anything
Rip my dry throat from my neck
Drip it on the floor
You yell at me for making a mess
And run, laughing, out the door
So young and so foolish
Thoughts that repeat in my head
Blood puddles all over the kitchen floor
Yet, I'm not dead
Throatless and abandoned
The smile on your beautiful face
The trail of red that follows you
Marks of the treads from your size eight's
Crimson as the roses by your doorstep
And as warm as a fire makes
Struggling for breathing
Half a world so far away
Clawing for the oxygen
Plotting my goodbyes
Screaming for my abilities
And forgetting all my lies
Remember back when we were young and foolish
And memorize thoughts that repeat in your head
Come back laughing into the house
Shove my throat back in my neck
Clean the blood from your hands and floor
Is it up? Did you check?
Still not breathing and still not dead
A phone call I won't be waiting for
Lungs so fresh and cut clean
My throat is always missing
Wake up bloody and I scream
Waiting for the best part of what happened
Drying blood and plotting my goodbyes
Sinking into skin uncertain
Too weak and here my body lies
I am watching you always
Waiting for my throat
Growing weary and freezing
Waiting for your coat
Stick around and watch me sink
Devil's eye upon me
Watch me as I bleed
Running, laughing, screaming
All that I think I need
Did you ever think to be this blessed?
Lying in the car?
Glass fills your eyes and hair
Heart stuck in a jar
Devil's tail surrounds me
Drag me from my cell
Find my throat and replace it
You never can tell
I'll clean up my blood
Forget this crimson mess
Forget the pains you've inflicted
I'll remember, I promise
Watch me always
See me when I die
Rolling into uncertainty
The best part of what happened
Was the part I never saw
Taste the iron flavor
Tongue covered in red
My throat has been gone for so long
And still you haven't found me dead
Is this the way things work now?
Breathless and always
Make the most of being weakened
Sitting alone and uncertain
Devil's eyes bearing down on my skin
The throat removed from my neck
Waiting for this mess to end
Does anyone remember being young?
Did you ever think you'd be this blessed?
Lying in the car waiting for something
Blood flowing free
Lying in this fiberglass cage
These glass shards that get to me
Devil's tail dragged me down
Rescued from this floor
You ran outside, laughing
Left me in my deep red mess
Tore my throat away from me
Forget that I will be blessed
Devil's eyes are off of me
Make no more excuses
Forget the way I bled that day
And forget the way our life fuses
Clawing, screaming for happy
Waiting to be sad
You tried to steal my throat from me
The blood all over the floor tonight
I'm so horribly glad
