Your voice is quiet
But I still hear your whisper
The sound of deadly words
I cringe at the thoughts they provoke
I grow angry at who you speak them for
Who knew you'd be saying these things
to someone who wasn't me
You turn to me with a smile
You know I know
But act like it's nothing to be ashamed of
My heart aches, you're killing me
You know what you're doing
Purposely causing me pain
But don't give a damn about how I feel
My tears don't even cause you to flinch
They simply push you away more
My pleading question of "WHY?" doesn't shake you one bit
You simply pull away faster
You're tearing me at the seam
Snipping each thread with a lie
You have no intention of sowing me back together
You've left me alone to sweep up the shards of my shattered heart
Pieces have fallen in unknown places
Places I will never look
Pieces I will never find.
Your voice is quiet
But you make sure I hear you whisper
Each and every deadly word...
