You kill me inside

You kill me inside.
Words that stagger into my mind at four in the morning.

You make me feel like the pink bubble gum on the bottom of your shoe.
You kill me inside.

I carved your name into my heart hoping you would stay.
I carved your name into my heart knowing mine would be nowhere near yours.

You kill me inside.
Those endless nights tossing and turning and the coldness of the blanket wrapped around my thigh.

You burn me alive.
I feel as if I am drowning in quicksand. Slowly.
You make me feel as if my body crawls up in flames with one blank stare.

You carved your name into my skull with a broken number two pencil.
I carved a four letter word on a desk in fourth period. 

I watched the words slowly become dull and meaningless.

I watched you carve another's name into your heart where mine should be.
You kill me inside.
