~Tragic Love~

~Tragic Love~

You used to love me for me

and everything that I am made of

You used to say you'd protect me

That I would be taken care of

But then along the way

The coldness set into our bones

Our bond began to sway

And our love weighed like stones

Instead of brushing away my hair

And smiling down at me

You give me all you're ire

And won't let me be

You get angry when I cry

Tears of bitter pain

You hate that I wish to die..

But keep driving me insane

You are the loudest voice in my head

Screaming out my flaws

When I crawl into your bed

I feel your sharpened claws

No longer are you gentle with me

Just frustrated that I am not the way you want

This is what you made of me

A skeleton come to haunt

When you are not around

I curl up into a ball

Trying to drown out the sound

Of the demons coming to call

Your voice is the one

Telling me I am the worst

My guilt weighing like a ton

My heart ready to burst

I know I am not nice

I can be rather cruel

But I told you way more then twice

I am more then just a tool

You cannot use me for your happiness

While letting me wither and die

Every time you get that madness

In your troubled eye

You rip away at my soul

Like you don't even care

That it is taking a heavy toll

And depriving me of air

My eyes have become blank

And you hate that look they give

But you don't see how far I sank

Or how I have no will left to live

I am tired of feeling not alright

And of you pushing me around

It hurts when my throat feels tight

And I cannot make a sound

I know I am utterly broken

But you promised me you'd protect

All that is unspoken

And all you actually wreck..

Does this mean I am not yours?

If you no longer cherish it

An endless shattering curse

Taking each and every hit

My eyes are dripping sorrow

Wishing you'd actually see

I needed that gentle hero

That you promised in the beginning you'd be..

I know maybe you meant it at the time

But its turned into a bitter lie

A lie that kept me going until the bell did chime

And left me alone to die

One day you'll realize you are dancing with a corpse

A memory of something you loved

Something that fades and warps

The dusty echos of your beloved.

The tragic tale of a women

Who slowly lost to the noise in her mind

Terrorized by a an ancient villan

The demons of guilt turning her blind

Her body a lifeless host

To the pain she endured

Nothing but a ghost

Wishing for once you had heard

The cries that fatal night

Her lungs burning with screams

Nothing could ever be right

When its ripping at the seams.
