Your eyes promote a kindness
While your twisted heart hatches a plan
To suck me in even deeper
To take everything that I am
And sculpt it into your own design
Ditching what you despise
Which is basically almost everything
Controlling my emotions with that look in your eyes
Making me believe you've had it so bad
And being with you, I should be glad
But gladness is replaced by pity
Emotionally you have me caught
Psychologically you keep me prisoner
Entangled in my thoughts
I feel guilty now through innocent behaviour
Seeing me crumble is for you to savour
The suffering you speak of is a manipulative ploy
As you play with my soul as if it was a toy
I ask you repeatedly, is this what you want?
Am I just your plaything for you to flaunt?
Retaliation takes over as a scream shouts out
Now you'll finally know what I'm all about
I won't strike at you, that's not what matters
But ensuring this sham finally shatters
As pieces of what we had lie scattered, insignificant and small
I know that I have finally done my all
All I can do considering the circumstances
I'm sick of giving you infinite chances
They mean nothing to me as I close the door
As I start to feel relief like never before
