Only When You’re Bored

In your silence

I drown out the sound

Empty echoes

Your love's not around

Flicker of light

Then it fades like a ghost

Am I the one you miss

Or the one you love least?

Your hands

They pull

Then let go

Your eyes

They burn

Then go cold

I only exist when you’re bored

A shadow you drag

A cut you ignore

I scream but you’re numb

You don’t hear anymore

I only exist

I only exist

When you’re bored

Call me up when the others aren’t there

I’m a body

Not a soul

Just a void to repair

Paint me with words

But you never let them dry

I fade when the moment is gone

Then you lie

Your lips

They whisper

Then sting

Your promises break everything

I only exist when you’re bored

A face in the dark

A wound you’ve explored

I bleed but you laugh

Like I’m some kind of chore

I only exist

I only exist

When you’re bored
