I’m sure you’d find it funny
that you still play a role
in my twisted self-torture
Congrats on your victory
over all I had to give
Wasted time and feelings
we both somehow perverted
We took what should be beautiful
and warped it something awfully
The remnants still inside my head
a wound trying to heal
Deep and dark and full of poison
rotting somewhere cold
You still pour in the salt
without even a word
You have the power over me
I gave it over freely
and couldn’t let you give it back
even if you wished to
I hope you’re happy now
a living echo of my failure
A shining light to burn away
all I thought I knew
of myself and what I held
as closest and most dear
I never really lived up to
the role the world has cast me in
I only played pretend
You were the one that caught me
and now I stand exposed

Shattered into pieces

I know you couldn’t understand

Emotions seem beyond you

So just know how much I cared

And how easy it has been

To turn this selfless sacrifice

Into the weakest portion

Of my very soul

Just look my way or say the word

And you could have it all

Or watch me scurry fast and far

In the opposite dirdction

What once I looked so hard for

Now brings me to my knees

You gave me the will to fix myself

And now you’ve left me in disarray

I can’t fix me now

And you never will

I’m left to wander aimless

Trying to find the pieces

You’ve crushed beneath your feet
