From deep below your throat
It would seem your words appear
Provoking more than pain
with a tinge more of fear
It seems every time you open your mouth
All those words broken
Cut me like razor blades
Every sharpened word spoken
But listen on
this torture I must endevour
Unlike my fresh wounds
These scars will last forever
And as every piercing word
echos through and destroys my mind
every shred of hope, respect
and confidence I may ever find
But know you what you say
is for yourself protect
Not realizing that your words
will give me nights of sleeplessness
And even though we are foolish
and still rather young
For the toxic things you say to me
I hope you choke on your own tongue

this torture I must endevour
Unlike my fresh wounds
These scars will last forever
And as every piercing word
echos through and destroys my mind
every shred of hope, respect
and confidence I may ever find
But know you what you say
is for yourself protect
Not realizing that your words
will give me nights of sleeplessness
And even though we are foolish
and still rather young
For the toxic things you say to me
I hope you choke on your own tongue
