Addicted to Hatred

She’s addicted to the hatred that runs through her veins

She feeds off the tears caused by your pain

As she finally wins she laughs in your face

Cause despite what you thought it wasn’t even a race

She had already battled all hurdles and won

The grin on her face brighter than the sun

She never meant for this to happen to you

The pain you would be caused, she never even knew

But then the same pain struck her heart

Breaking it into more than one part

You took advantage of her crumbling life

Trying to take her place as his love and wife

Trying to take what was never meant to be yours

Constantly cutting into her as her heart pours

It’s a pain worse than heartbreak

The kind that makes your very soul ache

You were addicted to the hatred that ran through your veins

You fed off the tears caused by her pain.
