Torn To Shreds

by Christina McDowell   Dec 30, 2006


He's never physically hurt me
I think I'd get more relief
It doesn't matter where I'll ve
I'll always be drowned with deceit

Rip me apart within
Cut me to pieces
Stab a knife in
Hoping the scream ceases

It was him who tore me to shreds
The one who's making me die slowly
It feels life is dead
As I cry alone sadly

I've been torn to shreds
And ripped apart
Every day I dread
As I continue to live on stabbed in the heart

My mind is filled with painful thoughts
That rip me inside
The times we've fought
And the times I was alone outside

Even the happy memories
Still really hurt
Even the times we were together happily
Are good as mud and dirt

It hurts to breathe
It hurts to think
It just brings me grief
And makes me sink

I close my eyes
And let my tears come
I stop those cries
I only cry some

How nights are so hard to bear
How he tore me to shreds
How it hurts to care
As I lie quietly in bed

Looking in the dark
Crying alone
Trying to erase that gruesome mark
Waiting for a call by my phone

How I have to pretend
That I'm okay
I want it to end
So I can tell and have a say

All of it is hidden
And I'm left here to cry
All of it is written
As I continue to love and try...
