They enshroud me in glimmer of lustful compliments,
Then bury me for leaning on my undeserved confidence.
I know they seek closure for the damage they caused,
But I am frozen in time, and my head is wrapped in gauze.
They seek friendships in graveyards, hoping I will awake.
The savior complex in their bones requests a second take.
I was not a spotless ruby, but this ending was too cruel.
My rotten flesh feeds on their tears like it is fuel.
Some say that is possible to forgive the worst betrayals.
Yet, I was the villainess in their tales and portrayals.
Let my body be consumed by the earth that once fed you,
And when the devil grins, please tell her I sent you.
