"Velveteen"

[SUCCESSOR]

Kill me with a wisper and bury me in smiles.
loneliness will only last awhile.
The cold scraping down the
Velveteen lining of my heart,
Tells me what is real was only
Made to be torn apart

I believed in hollow things
encarnate of my desires and dreams.
The fur falls from a decayed feline corpse,
It's only yarn and sawdust
Suspended in tears descending past
Your gift of blue day remedies.
I thought love was real.
I thought it was you and me.

He had the brightest eyes of hope.
Sentimental above all things.
He was a stuffed toy, Jaded.

It was good. Was this inspired by your gf breaking up with you? I suck at poetry
