CHARM BY BIRU
i’ve tried, but to no avail
you are all over me
my hands are covered in your blood
your reflection is in my eyes
i see it whenever i look at myself in the mirror
i wish more than anything that i could experience life without it
i hope, i pray, that reincarnation is real
oh, what i wouldn’t give for a second chance
alas, it is no use to shrink away
to mourn
to surrender to you and let you win
i said it ends with me and i meant it
i might regret this forever
but here i am
standing in front of you
ready to take you on
