Don't look at my eyes, for they tell it all

Shut them back behind curtains, or face the wall

Avoid my presence, try hard to forget

What your body wants to but your mind won't let

Scream at me in frustration, slap my shrouded face

Each hit you land on me is a moment you erase

Try to tell yourself that what happened wasn't true

Distort with a fist, beat it black and blue

You'll kiss me when tomorrow comes, buy me something new

Promise me no more, then pretend to start anew

And I accept it every time, but no more do I believe

Your empty words and tired oaths do little but deceive
