The Ruiner

Will I ever stop feeling like I’m

Ruining your life?

I strive to provide smooth glide

But I’m bona fide sly

When I realise that I

Am making things difficult again

And the slime of my crimes

Engulfs all that I’ve dried

From the saturation

That comes after the downpours

Of my cries

I lie when you pry

Say I’m alright

But inside I’m going crazy

Still I don’t let it hazy my pride

I feel like I’m being fried

Tied to truck wheels and pulled

Through both concrete and tsunami tide

I survive only by one scratch

One millimetre before the ultimate collide

I skive every invite

To try prize the truth from my eyes

My brutal disguise warm and kind

So familiar it’s like

My own skin don’t recognise

The pore of itself

Until I’m so terrified

Of ruining you

That I can’t avoid thinking

It would all be easier for everyone

If I just weren’t alive

Don’t shake your head at that

Don’t go all whale wide

Cos I know those vile moods

Make you cross your mind

With some things that ain’t so nice

I wish you’d just fly off the handle

And hit me so hard it feels like a kiss

I wish you’d just let me ruin

All this.
