Call Me Darling

Word vomit spills
Out of my pen
Like the time he broke my heart

And all of the ink
Leaked from my veins
And, slowly, I tore apart

And anxiety kicked in
And punched me in the gut
Repeatedly

Until I couldn't feel the oxygen
Pumping to my brain
And I felt lost
Completely

Please don't let me hang here
Please don't let me fall
Please don't call me darling
If you don't mean it at all

Please don't call me over
Please don't leave your mark
Please don't call me baby
When you keep me in the dark

And I know it's not the same
You think it would be easier
The second time around

But he has a different face
And a different heart and name
But he hurt me the same way

I hear the same sounds

Coming from my body
Coming from the window
Hitting the floor

I'm holding up my body
By a thread from the ceiling
Strung to my core

Please don't let me hang here
Please don't let me fall
Please don't call me darling
If you don't mean it at all

Please don't call me over
Please don't leave your mark
Please don't call me baby
When you keep me in the dark

Oh, but please, do
I love it when you do

I love it when you touch me
Even when I know
It means nothing to you

Hang me up
Let me fall
Call me darling
You don't have to mean it at all

Call me over
Leave your mark
Call me baby
I like the dark

Hang me up
Let me fall
Call me darling
You don't have to mean it at all

Call me over
Leave your mark
Call me baby
I like the dark

I like the dark
I like the dark
