Joseph ‘’the Rat’’ Epstein

I am wrong, you heard right
The nerve to hide my fears and how they’ve
Made me unwell
I should have said this before now
I’ll say it now

“You were only trying to help.”

She hums what she hears, it’s clear she is not following my lead
She’s done listening to me
I scribbled and scrawled
I carved and I clawed all of my scripture on top of her body
It’s there to remind me that the purpose changed when the person changed
It’s strange that I’m still hanging on

Learn from my mistakes and I’ll wipe away your slate
A clean canvas is used for second chances
Get this over with
I need this off my chest

Come down
I’ll slither back to my hole
Come down
I will not like this outcome

I cannot calm down

This is not what you’re thinking so don’t blink or you’ll miss it
I try to remember but the pieces don’t quite fit
It’s just getting blurry and I’m closer to thirty then when we first met

I’ll save my regrets
I don’t want to forget the harm that I caused you
With the words that I said
Please quickly leave to begin without me like before we first met
