I’m biting my tongue,
Enough to make me bleed,
Holding back all the words,
I should have said,
For you to understand,
The hurt you inflict.
I’m biting my tongue,
Enough to make me bleed,
Holding back all the words,
I should have said,
For you to understand,
The hurt you inflict.
I waited, again,
Despite my better judgement,
And you proved me wrong,
People can’t change,
Not if they don’t want to.
I hope in the next life,
That we never meet,
I’ll never be broken by words,
Reshaping my smile,
To mask my unhappiness,
At living with a monster, like you.
I’m finding it hard to read the room,
Are we friends or are we foes?
You say how much you love me,
Yet you left me bleeding on the floor.
All these thoughts,
Screaming in my skull,
It’s like I can’t get the words-
Quick enough for you to understand,
I’m hurting.
I’m sorry,
I have let you down, again.
I’ll try and fix it,
I’m patching up my pieces,
Fixing my smile,
I’ll be better,
Just promise me,
You’ll be patient.
It’s eating away at me,
Clawing from the inside,
Thise sense of dread,
That I’ve done something wrong,
Again.
Let the rain wash over my skin,
Absolve me of all the tears I cried,
Release me from this weight I’ve carried,
I need to start over and let go,
Help me find myself again.
Those words,
They’re like a hair-trigger,
The moment they leave your mouth,
I feel their barbed sting,
As if it were still a gift from him.
Bring me dead flowers,
Stand by the sidelines,
Watch me wilt at your words,
All over again
