Your scathing words rip into me You tear me apart flaw by flaw Never listening only blaming and speaking death Echoes of your lies linger as I try and sleep Hate fills my mind, not of the lies you speak, but of hate for myself I'll never view myself the same Your blunt words cut deeper than imagined Am I still loved by the enemy that haunts me nightly? When do I stop taking the lies you speak? You pry and you meddle, but I'll never trust you again You speak to destroy, I'm just a city waiting for your tongue
