Poison you Poured

You built my ending in your sleep

Sketched my grave in crooked ink

Woke up smiling at the scene

Said it was just a joke

I think

You set the table

Poured that glass

Called it love

Called it relief

I drank it down to make you proud

Burn on my tongue

Bloom of disbelief

I created your death from a dream

Then you made it real for me

You followed through

Just like you said

With the poison you poured in my head

Every sweet word tinged in steel

Now I taste what you call real

I created your death from a dream

But you made a martyr out of me

You dressed your damage up in lace

Pinned the blame onto my chest

Said

“If you leave

I’ll fade away”

So I stayed and starved the rest

You kept a ledger of my sins

Paid me back in quiet rage

Soft confession

Sharpened grin

Locked me in your painted cage

I created your death from a dream

Then you made it real for me

You followed through

Just like you said

With the poison you poured in my head

Every sweet word tinged in steel

Now I taste what you call real

I created your death from a dream

But you made a martyr out of me

Were you saving me

Or breaking me?

Hard to tell in this kind of light

Did you lie to me

Or teach me?

Maybe both can still be right

I created your death from a dream

Then you made it real for me

You followed through

Just like you said

With the poison you poured in my head

Every sweet word tinged in steel

Now I taste what you call real

I created your death from a dream

But you only buried me alive
