Zeros

I can never save you
I couldn’t even save myself
We were happy with everything
Except each other
Our hate for the world
Spewed from our mouths like venom
And I stuck to you
'Cos it was better than sticking to nothing
Your faults with perfectly with mine
And made a vice-like grip
But I could never save you
I couldn’t even save myself
We only left the house at night
When there were less people on the streets
I wanted to feel what you felt
You wanted to feel what I felt
You scraped my name on your stomach
I scraped your name on mines
You drank as much as I drank
And I ate as much as you ate
The only time you parted
Was to go to the toilet
We consumed each other
We became feral
We lost weight
We turned pale
We fucked like wild animals
We stole leather jackets and jewelry
We were bored
We were beyond bored
I can never save you
I could barely save myself
I’ve seen lone (?)
And everyone you met were idiots
We giggle when they talk to us
We smell their skunk and Red Stripe
We were so angry with the world
We could barely bare to be in it
Until we turned our anger on each other
Picking at each other
Down to the clean bare bones
I can never save you
I could barely save myself
