You tell me you love me
like it's what I need to hear
when reality sinks me
and my cries fall on deaf ears

You tell me you love me
when hatred spills from your lips
who i am sinks further down
until all that's left is my bleeding skin

You tell me you love me
as you pick up more soil
burying who I am as a person
while you deftly toil

You tell me you love me
but I'll never be the same
how can you love someone
when you've erased their entire being?
