You rob me of all my energy,
desolating my little sanctity
You rob me of all my energy,
leaving me with nothing but misery
I foolishly built a home in your soul
because I mistook comfort for security
I painstakingly withstood the chagrin
yet you repay me with your folly
Your mouth is a gun
The words you spew fly like bullets
in no time they crush my bones tidy
They exterminate every bit of life in my body
At the end of it all
I am left with nothing
I feel naked
like a mole rat in spring
But I clothe myself with
assurance and confidence
everyday I mask myself with false mirth
I pretend
I pretend
I pretend
and will continue to
until the very end
