My anger came that day,
i tried to stay calm through
it all but my emotions just
gave way without me telling
them too.

She saw my frustration
taking shape and took
me in her loving arms
and told me it would be
okay.

I knew that my personal
emotions would show,that
i would pretend not to be
upset, and playing them
off as casual-words and not
the hurtful words as to what
they sounded to me.

I wanted to barricade
myself inside my head
and listen to those supposed
hurtful words that were being
said about me,

The thoughts that raced
through my mind were not
the words that i heard coming out
of his mouth that day,

All i can say to you is
that i accused him of
being wrong and that
was unfair for me to do,

Shallow words
Bounce off the surface
But the deep ones
Cut through my skin

The carnage spreads
The blood spills
From my veins, from
Wounds your words made

Do you even know that you’ve
Sliced me open and
Left me bleeding
Left me screaming

You told me carelessly
Like it wouldn’t hurt me
Maybe you didn’t realize
The damage you were causing

I like to think that
To believe you’re not
Cruel enough, sadistic enough,
To intentionally hurt me like this

Because if you knew what the
Damage to me would be
And you did it anyway
I don’t know if I could live with that

I’ll survive this, no doubt
Because I always seem to
Sometimes I wonder
If you’ve ever had to

Simply swallow your pain
Cover the damage with
Smiles and casual words
Lie through your teeth to hide the truth

Take my eyes from their sockets
And squeeze them till there’s no tear left to cry
Take my tongue from my mouth
‘Cause there’s nothing left for me to speak about
Take the skin from my bones
Till all is left is a bloody mess
And then take my heart from my chest

Take my heart
Rip it out
Shatter it to pieces
And crush it in the ground
‘Cause all the reasons
I had left to stay
Are one by one
Taken away

Take the spine from my back
‘Cause now there’s no place left for me to go
Take my hands from my arms
‘Cause I have nothing left worth fighting for
Take the skin from my bones
Till all is left is my bare flesh
And then take my heart from my chest

[b]Take my heart
Rip it out
Shatter it to pieces
And crush it in the ground
‘Cause all the reasons
I had left to stay
Are one by one
