Fishing for Compliments
i wonder why she ever felt the need to give herself away like that
why she could never look in the mirror
and see what i can see
she doesn't need to be anyone or be anybody
my perfection is met by her alone;
It was me that was dented and bruised
i don't want deceit or lies or breakable promises
i'm lost in a whirlwind of memories
i'm blinded by a beauty unique
its sorry that i am when i feel her there
that she had that and i wasn't there
i wonder where is that person i used to be?
i was poisoned a long time ago
someone made it a game of who can hurt the most
she drew a line in the sand and out poured my blood
everytime she talks its as if she is speaking a different language
she is a stranger from a distant dream
she destroyed my self worth
and i do not know how to come back from that
i'm scared because i was drowned in a previous life
she held my head underwater til i suffocated
and i lost it, that piece of me
she finally punched the wind out of me
and dragged me up to teach me it was my fault
she won, i have no fight anymore
i don't want to fight, she makes it hard to think, to breathe
a noose around my neck, my hands, my mind
i just want to be, to be here and be here with my love
to hold her hand and not to apologise
for every single little thing, because i am not sure of who i am
because, the other one, the one of whom i cannot speak
she took it out of me
and made me nothing more than worthless and pointless
and now i fight, for me, to find myself
she is weak, i am strong and she broke me apart to show me i could be weak
then laughed,
then she spat on my grave as she walked away with another girl
