Why must you hurt me so much
Why must you break me down
Why must you take every ounce of my strength
Why must you hurt me so?
You bleed me dry
You exhaust all my reserves
Not a tear drop to spare
Not a  piece of my heart that's unbroken
These words cut through me
Even the ones physically conveyed, unspoken
You shatter my soul
Every fiber of my being
Begging for mercy
Why must I be unworthy?
Will this ever let up
Will this ever end
So many words I want to say, just can't push send.
Help me understand, let me into your world
Tell me why I can't be your perfect and ideal girl

An angel in the morning, a devil at night

Say one wrong word and incur the wrath
Steer your course clearly outside its path
One split second, moods change on a dime
Wondering to myself what is it this time?
Fragile as a newborn
A quiet soul tinged with rage and scorn
Multi faceted, tucked away beneath a facade
Unable to see this as anything but odd

The most generous person I ever did see
Only in a moment to tear it away from me
Moments of love, moments of bliss
Passion and fire dispersed through a kiss
Lyrics of adoration and adoring praise
Concealed within his gaze.
Clandestine emotions try to take hold
Boiling within, ready to unfold

A rage that would put Hyde to shame
Eager to pass on any of the blame
A raging fire stokes within the heart's chambers
Seemingly oblivious to its obvious dangers
Ready to burst at any second
Easily comes forth when it is beckoned
Do what you can to prevent it from explosion
And be aware when it is close to implosion

Fiercely volatile, ready to combust
A mortal who appears to be healthy and robust
Warning label should say handle with care
Emotions no matter how extreme, are eager to be shared
Trying desperately to hide it from others
Thoughts are racing, feeling smothered
Every range of feeling  from melancholy to delusions
Is it reality, or is it all an illusion?
