Better Love

I was empty
Hoping you would fill me up
Cut you open
Took it all so ravenous, you’re not enough
I was feeble
Hollow-bodied as you led
Like an actor
Reading lines I’d never felt
I feel them now
If you need a better love
If you need one
I can understand it, I could never give enough
If you need a better love you deserve one
I can comprehend it
I have given everything
Now it’s gone
Now it’s gone
Turned to tinder
Struck a match and came to flame
The meat market opened doors to new dead ends
And I’m ashamed
