Can’t,
Can,
Won’t
Will
Don’t
Do

Can’t think
Won’t breathe,
Don’t go

Can you stay?
Will you, please?
Do you love me, too?

Punctured my lung,
Silently screaming your name
Popped a thousand blood vessels
In my eyes,
I was reminiscing about us
Skin lit itself on fire
Every inch,
Where your touch used to be,
I melt like wax

Can’t stay,
Won’t stay

Don’t stay.
