A Lesson Learnt (Or is it Learned? Learned is an adjective?)
As somebody said once before, please be brutal. In particular I'd like you to tell me which lines are boring and should be replaced.

He left you burned
A cinder girl
A lesson learnt
A scar across your wrist
He made you doubt
Humanity
So unforgiving
Deaf to all your pleas
Just look me in the eye
Although a part of you has died
You can look me in the eye
Hold my gaze, those cheeks will dry
Your tears have fallen for the last time
I won’t be stolen from your side
Your tears have fallen for the last time
I won’t be the one to say goodbye
My stapled tongue
My mouth absurd
You fill this mind with poetry
But leave me lost for words
(I scat here and its works!)
So I’ll pour my thoughts out
Onto post-it notes
And leave them on your mirror each day
To let you see what I wrote
Just look me in the eye
Although a part of you has died
You can look me in the eye
Hold my gaze, those cheeks will dry
Your tears have fallen for the last time
I won’t be stolen from your side
Your tears have fallen for the last time
I won’t be the one to say goodbye
(random singing bits)
The last time
You say goodbye
The last time
I won't be the one to say goodbye
