Darling I
I have forgotten why
We thought we were good together
I didn’t know pain could drive so deep
I didn’t think I would let you keep
Wounding me through and through
Keeping me empty I assume so you
Can fill that void with yourself
With your ideas and your control I
Cannot remember why
I first stood up to deny
I wouldn’t accept that lie
But here I am about to die
It becomes thick around me hard to breathe
I begin to sway and start to heave
In your direction my thoughts swirl
And back to the days of a younger girl
A frightened figure crouched on the bed
Nightmares dancing in my head so red
And menacing I can taste them now and recall
The bitter fear of it all
And when the truth is told it seems so cold
And twice removed from time so old
Like it was another girl, but I feel the hurt
Bitter in my mouth it tastes like dirt
