The words of a serpent

The words of a serpent fall from your mouth and into mine,

You manipulate and pollute my mind with lies,

When I seek the real you all I get is cries,

The beat of my heart faster everytime you tell me great things,

The beat of my heart slows when you hurt me. 

I'm tired of the countless nights spent alone,

With the same old song stuck in my head,

With the same old lies swirling around in chasm.

I told myself to never look back,

But now that's all I ever do.

Looking back on memories of the good days,

When you weren't in my life,

When your lies weren't knives in my back,

When I wasn't a shell of myself,

But I guess that's how this works
