I read past words and wonder
Did you have that much
Control over me and my emotions
Yeah, I think you did
But it was wrong, so wrong
You made me feel so bad
Worth less than nothing
A tiny speck upon
Your life, insignificant
Just another bump that you
Rode through without thinking
Leaving scars upon another
Misfit, a poor degraded soul
Never mind what was left behind
So now I am hollow shell
Of what I used to be
While you go on, blissfully
Unaware of the wounds
That you inflicted
Dealing with the itching
Deep inside, where I can’t reach
Spending nights alone
Only with your memories
Going crazy, creating more
Scars to deal with
Wondering all the while
If you ever wonder
About me, about my pain
Sitting staring numbly at the walls
Spelling out your name
In blood, damning evidence
Of how you treat love
Examining my sanity
I doubt everything
Never wanting to feel again
Never wanting to hear
Again those words
“I love you”
So overused and lied upon
Leading to broken dreams
That lie destroyed in the night
Another heart left abused
And broken, shattered and bleeding
Painting more emotions
Upon a page left unsaid
Verses in a song that
Will be unsung
