Senses lift my skin,
Every nerve alive.
Anger makes me burn,
But it makes me feel alive.

One hand, I tremble,
Those lips, I flinch.
Intimacy won’t repair,
The damage has been done.

Every screamed and snarling word,
All the curses flung my way.
My body tangled up in you,
I forgot the venom and the hate.

Words can lie,
And touches deceive.
Falling, descending,
A shattered mess.

Echoes screech and claw,
Voices haunt the solitude.
You’re always there, even when I’m alone,
Please, just get up and go.

Don’t want another touch,
I don’t want another night.
I couldn’t stand another heartbreak,
Another selfish fight.

Cried, fought and bled,
Just to end up alone.
Gave you all I had,
Got nothing in return.

Truth behind a veil of lies,
Sincerity never touched your tongue.
Don’t care for me,
Don’t care for what you’ve done.

Broken mirror,
Jagged edge.
Shattered image,
Fractured life.

Begging now,
On your knees,
Did you just cry?
Did you just say please?

Pride screams to turn aside,
The head demands I leave,
But the heart is pleading to stay,
Just one more day.

Sincerity hits your tongue,
Desperation in your eyes.
Actions spurred by love,
And my resistance comes undone.

I always knew I’d stay,
I knew I’d never go away.
My hate for you may be strong,
But this works, because it’s wrong.
