Broken Hearts and Broken Minds

10

love will drive you crazy, thats what they say

it will consume you in every which way

your mind will be filled with thoughts of their voice

and you will smell their cologne wherever you go

with every deep breath your love will grow stronger

but how come with you, i love you no longer?

****

you say my love, "we will get through this"

but honey my dear, i don't want to do this

my cries are silenced with the taste of your lips

you think you can fix this with one little kiss?

but sweetie my love, our love is all wrong

i'm silenced by you i can no longer speak

you, baby, have made me go weak

when you raise a hand, i flinch out of fear

even if its to tell me that we are here

sweetie my love, this feels abusive

so please tell me how will we get through this?

****

band-aids have now become my best friend

please, oh god, when will this end?

you hit, you kick, you push and you shove

the pain you inflict envelopes me like a glove

i scream at you stop, please just stop

but you scream back no, and my jaw goes pop

here i am sitting on my floor

with a knife in my hand, cause i can't take it anymore

goodnight, goodbye is the mantra that goes through my head

goodbye to you, for this is the end
