Wanting to forget, needing to forgive

by MorbidCupcake   Oct 25, 2008


The fridgid air wrapped around my fingers
Turning my blood to ice
And preventing me from my ability to write

We always saw a soft beauty in our silence
But the only beauty that remained
Was a lack of pride and heart of pain
You said we changed but it was for the better

Days spent barely moving
Blackened eyes and bitter tongues
Your venom kept me from healing
Because there was so much harm already done

Sometimes promises are broken
I wanted you, I gave it all up
I hurt you and I can't let go
I've made up my mind
Waiting to die, so many times
But still tangled up in all your lies

I was told you were draining my existence
Just to feel better on your own
Ashes cover broken bones
You said you felt the same, that you would forever

Months spent with a darkened mind
You supplied the rumours, I supplied the wrath
But you play this game all the time
So I shouldn't feel bad that you're never coming back

Time helped these promises break
You said you need me then you gave up
Blaming the victim but I'm sorry, I couldn't let go
Though you made up your mind
Asking to die, so many times
But you struggled just to leave me dry

So many words remain
I tried to forgive
But why should I, when you never forgave me
It's already too late
Cuz there's nothing left to give
Just a memory of being betrayed
That lingers with me always
