I never knew how much power his words still had over me until I heard them spoken to me with someone else's tongue You .. You .. Yea you have to go And no Not the echo... of the haunted memory Etched into my bones. You This innocent new guy, that doesn't even realize the power his words have, Squeezing my soul like a bitter lime The fresh juice seeping into my reopened wounds, a fire burning into the fiber of my existence. You don't even realize those aren't your words They are the undressed synapses electrifying my memory Untangled pure torture that follows a direct nerve to my heart and causes me to have a reflex you are not EVEN prepared for. Yea, You'll be the umpteenth failed relationship And when I say" it's not you it's me " I'll really mean it's he.... He..the voice in my head who won't let me forget He who holds me hostage in my regret He who ***** any shred of innocence I ever possessed. He....not me His voice rings the loudest in my head. And you You mimic his words like he told you exactly what to say To make me squirm Like the worm on the hook when I was little and he took Me fishing cuz he wished I was the son he didn't have. Until that son came along and I became his trash. You are the same Youre him all over again And him and him And him And every failed attempt at me trying to receive a love He wasn't willing to give.
