Your betrayal still burns inside of me
gnawing at my subconscious
leaving a bitterness inside that I can't spit out
yet another imp, dancing in my mind
taunting my dreams
poisoning my heart
taking little digs at my new-found confidence and positivity
until I can't take it anymore...
How do I shake the shackles of the past
How do I forgive
when I'm left all alone, warmth trickling from me
drop by drop
while the imps prance 'round, my life force smeared across their grotesque faces?

Your betrayal still burns inside of me
gnawing at my subconscious
leaving a bitterness inside that I can't spit out
yet another imp, dancing in my mind
taunting my dreams
poisoning my heart
taking little digs at my new-found confidence and positivity
until I can't take it anymore...
How do I shake the shackles of the past
How do I forgive
when I'm left all alone, warmth trickling from me
drop by drop
while the imps prance 'round, my life force smeared across their grotesque faces?
