Words can hurt as they slash across your heart
Leaving you gasping for air at the pain
How many lashes must I endure from you?
Every time you speak, each word stings
Slicing into me, creating new wounds and opening old ones
How many scars will I have once this is completely over?
I am not sure; I know that I am weary
Yet I know this Angel must survive,
I have too

You curse me with your cruel words
Wanting nothing more than to see me fail
Does it make you feel better hexing me?
For that is something I would never do to you
Yes its over, but never would I want harm to come to you
Never would I curse you in such a way
Excepting you to be a man, not this raving child
I shake my head, full of disappointment

I thought that we could be mature about this
Rise above the petty words, the knowing comments
But I guess its not going to be this way
You are going to make this as hurtful as you possibly can
For you cant accept what has been put before you
Only wanting to see your own view on things
Not wanting to try and understand

You say I am indifferent, cold as ice
You said I am selfish and only care about myself
Asking, how could I be such a bitch to do this to you?
That I have no heart any longer, an empty shell of my former self.
Well listen here, look past what you see
You say you know me so well then open your damn eyes
Look past the mask I am hiding behind
Peel back the layers of personas I have been forced to wear
Dont you see the pain that lies there?
The silent tears that I dont release
The scars you have created with your hateful words
Cant you hear me screaming, even though no sound leaves these lips?
I know you cant, blind to all but the rage you feel inside

How much more of this do you think I can take from you?
The knife you keeping shoving in me is already full of my blood
Do you want it all, leaving me drained and empty?
Do you want my very soul, the essence of who I am?
Does your anger burn that deeply inside you
Slash away all you want with your barbed comments
Stab at my heart with your sharp piercing words
Push the knife in until the hilt is up against my skin
The blade is covered with this Angels sweet blood
You will not break me; I am stronger than you think


Remember this though not one tear will you see
All this pain, anguish, and anger I will hold inside
Feeding on it, letting it strengthen me
No emotion will you see in these brown eyes
Only lifeless dark pools staring at you
Not a cry or whimper will passed these sealed lips
I refuse to give you that satisfaction.
See I will endure all of this torture
The glares from your raged filled eyes
The comments that you know will hurt
The stabs at myself confidence and self-esteem
I will take it all in for this is almost at an end
I will be free from the chains that bind this Angel
Free from this ever living Nightmare
Able to spread my wings again
