Deceit

These scars that now heal

Are the pain I no longer feel

I never said "I loved you"

but I always felt it inside.

Replaced with something new.

My rage has broken the seal

I can not fight it anymore, you just watch while I kneel.

Close your eyes and when you open them, you'll see me anew.

Broken and torn left with nothing but scorn.

Watch as the roses die but the thorns stay alive.

That's all I see in you and yet I always crawl back.

Your my vulture and I'm the prey.

How long will this take before I break?

Your eyea areblack and filled with guilt.

Look at what we've built, you know no matter how hard I try: I can never reside without you by my side.

I can't imagine a world without you and everything you do.

Please, don't make me crawl up inside.
