Every word you say to her
Becomes a slash on my arm—
Ur killing me w/ every word that
Spills out your mouth—dripping
Brightly colored lies seeping
Thru my skin. From every
Word uve said so far to every
Lie I’ve ever told it makes me
Numb and soon you’ll find I am the
Girl you never knew.
Through this emptiness inside
Through the murky tears and lies and
Pushing through all the deceit
Hurting more fulfill the need
Feeling sobbing drowning cold
I never did what I was told
The thoughts you think
No longer pure, trying to stop
But giving in, No fighting back because
They win, no matter what, they always win—
So tell me now, is life better?
Tell me why you think you’ve been
Redeemed, tell me what allows you to sit
On your throne, lashing out insults as if
You were free of unleanliness and dish
Out those judgments since you have never
Made mistakes—One thing I know if
Anything is you are a hypocritical piece
Of work.
So try and magnify my problems and
Try and keep yours hidden, I hope your conspiracies
Backfire and scar your wrists
To spite you.
