How Human We Are (vent)

You wouldn't know how bad it burns.
Blind, cold shoulder, unknowing, don't care.
I've bled and cried and screamed til it hurts.
You took from me what I shouldn't have shared.

You make me manic-depressive at best.
You chuckle and sigh with that smirk on your face
Instead of this give me two to the chest.
You poisoned me and then you got away.

A thousand needles into each of my eyes.
Drinking bleach straight from the bottle.
NOTHING compares to the pain that I hide.
You're making me go through emotions, full throttle.

You lied to my face and I ate every word.
The same lines you'll use all over again.
I'll add you to my short list of jerks.
And still I'll say, "we can be friends".

Keep the peace and don't let it show.
I let you think that I'm really okay.
But I have nights where there's no place to go
And I'm killing myself with each breath that I take.

Literally so, I'll curl up in a ball.
Head on my knees, at the foot of my bed.
Tears down my cheeks, blurred gaze at the wall.
Playing back every word that you've said.

I feel so weak as the apathy sets in.
This is my story, I still have every scar.
What does it matter? I thought I loved him.
This goes to show just how human we are.
