    "And the tragedy of it is, as you begin to have an emotional collapse, you try to reach out to the one you love, but she pulls away in disgust."
    -Gabe Lamarche

    So I’m just a figurant in your little game
    Robbed of words, bearing silent pain
    Just a marionette but you won’t pull my strings
    I’d dance for you given some instructions
    I thought I was your king but I’m just a pawn
    The potential to be anything but your love is forgone
    Feeling so reprobate because the one I deified
    Speaks words which beckon the notion of suicide
    Solipsism breeding solipsism as I try to refrain
    From forgetting all else in the wake of this pain
    So vulnerable awaking from my defensive torpor
    My previous attempt not to be hurt anymore
    But I met you and thought maybe you were different
    You said you loved me and I really believed it
    But now through all effort, despite whatever I do
    I’m “just fucking pathetic,” yeah honey I love you too
    I thought you’d help me through thick and thin
    But you took the knife and drove it further in

    I’m back home for Christmas but can only think of you
    Awaiting your call on our anniversary that never came true
    So I lay awake on Christmas Eve wishing I was dead
    Contemplating how it would hurt to end blood flow to my head
    Sever my carotid artery; just another place my heart can’t reach
    Just a final lesson that you served to teach
    By being so distant each time I cried out your name
    And being so quick to tell me I was the one to blame
    Accusations and hypocrisy and my pleas go ignored
    I guess we had our fun and now you’re bored
    You phoned me on Christmas, but was it out of affection?
    My favourite present was just your voice and a bit of attention
    Reminding me of how close we felt last time we met
    When you wiped away my tears and said you had nothing to regret
    We finished our conversation and you said “Bye bye”
    I mirrored your words and made them my reply
    The words “I love you” were the last that I said
    You paused, said “Goodbye,” and the line went dead
