I Know Too Much Darkness

by @thisplacecallednowhere

Because of you, I know too much You sucked out my innocence with your maniacal way Twisted my mind to get me to stay I believed you which distanced me from reality The truth you spewed was dripping in brutality I listened and adjusted, everyday, more and more I didn’t realize doing so was opening the door To new demons, ones that taught me not to trust Now I can’t have fun anymore, I can’t even feel lust We haven’t talked in two years, but I still jump through hoops My brain is sick and dark, it’s stuck in destructive loops It’s really sad what I lost, the part of me that could surrender I can’t open up my heart, it scares me to be tender I push people away because i don’t want them to be like you I wish we never crossed paths, I don’t know what to do

Notes

Some people show us the darkest part of the human condition and that darkness can scar the innocent for a lifetime.
