I was starting to forget you
But you came slithering back.
Relieved at first, I thought 
You had forgotten me as well, 
And you tore off my bandages
And watched the blood come rushing.
Why did I show you my scars?
I wish I didn’t see yours...
I thought you had found someone 
who would tie you down instead.
Not me, I have no chains,
Only bandages.

I was ready to forget you
When you came crawling back.
What are you doing here? 
I have nothing for you but bandages!
We’ve reached the peak, you
Scraped me out, I’m empty
And it spirals down from here.
Run while you can
Back to your safety, the security
I wish I still had.
Like the rest, he left me. With
Only bandages.

I wish I could forget you
But you keep creeping back.
You’re not a good person and
You know it but don’t change it.
I thought that she would change you,
But I still breathe you in like nicotine.
Attention is a drug, validation
Is the ultimate high
And like you, I’m addicted.
Hand on my neck. You like control. 
You use me like I’ve always been used.
I let you. I have no boundaries.
Only bandages.
