Get Well Soon

Cathartic words spilled on a page The things you'd write down to never say Have I been careless with my phrase? Tainted kiss, by bitter taste Fickle, fleeting feelings caught me Wrote them down just to feel sane Have I been careless with the words I chose to say? Cathartic words spilled on a page Pointing fingers out at everyone but me Idle hands and broken promises Body in bed 'til afternoon Clouded mind, ignoring calls Half-empty cup I've spilled on you Been making it real when I write I manifest thoughts I tried to hide A half-deflated, old balloon tied to my wrist, reads "get well soon" Tied to my wrist, reads "get well" I hadn't really heard the way it sounds Before I took my time and tried to write it down Now I've been careless with this ego-driven heart With the taste of venom in my mouth Fickle fleeting feelings caught me Wrote them down then changed my mind I've been dodging lines of light, cast from the blinds Idle hands and broken promises Body in bed 'til afternoon Clouded mind, ignoring calls Half-empty cup I've spilled on you I've been making bad deals for my whole life and cutting myself short every time A half-deflated, old balloon tied to my wrist, reads "get well" Tied to my wrist, reads "get well soon"
