Your words used to cut deep, creating a wilderness in my heart I fed your sword's blood lust by choosing ignorance from the start My heart was your target, and you aimed the dart at its core I forgot who I was, and myself I started to abhor Your words pierced my soul, a wound from a familiar knife Your comments suffocated me, a weight that wouldn't subside You took control of my life story, made it darker, I had to surrender to your plucker Like a house of cards created with focus, I faltered Like a feather tainted with ink from writing a sad story, I endured Hurt people hurt people but l feel hate made you hurt me and l felt like dirt Every season without reason, attacked as if l framed u for treason that led to prison I might have brought your life to an end in a past life, upon reincarnation you sought vengeance From the pain I felt, what gain did you get? Carelessly, your chandelier swung, smashing my delicate heart to smitherins Now l pick out the shards of glass that befell my fragile soul And slowly regenerate my heart, making it whole You created a monster, but today I rise, a new me I am numb to your words now
