ROBBERY.
She ran off with my heart in a velvet bag, Left a kiss on my chest, then she laughed— Cold steel where my warmth used to live, Now I bleed from the place I forgave her with. Yeah, love's a thief, and I left the vault open, Told her secrets I buried, soft-spoken. Now I’m choking on the silence she left, Sleepin’ with ghosts and dancin’ with death. Hooked on her lies like a needle in vein, She played God while I drowned in the rain. Told me she cared, then she let it decay Now my soul's on a stretcher, carried away. I sip pain like it's lean in my cup, Tryna fill holes that love opened up. Demons in designer, whisperin' slow, Told me, “Feel somethin’? Just overdose.” Carve my regrets into glassy nights, Tattooed scars where I lost my fight. Used to dream in color, now it’s grayscale, Used to hope in verses, now I just wail. She took my heart like it came with a price Pawned it off for the thrill of the heist. Now I walk with my shadow on a leash Prayin’ depression finally brings me peace
