Adam

Silence is our communication
harsh glances and scowled faces
narrowed eyes survey the damage caused by your lies

hate burning inside
still flares when I see you
I shudder to think what could have happened if I let this disease continue

I think back on our memories
on the good days we shared
now pushed out of my mind

bitterness consumes me
heart to stone is my motto in life
living in fear of being used, hurt, and abused again

if I build a wall and let no one in
I can be at peace
so I let no one in to see the real me
look at me now and realize what you have done

you have made me afraid to love again
so alone I will stay
only confiding in myself
trusting no one because of you
