104

Your desperation excites me

That's not something I should say out loud

Yet, I keep crashing through the silence

In hopes of hearing your crying sounds

Sure, I'd still give you water

in a desert, dry and bleak

but, I might hesitate - a little

just to see how well you plead 

I don't like this version of me

a cold and careless type

but, you took something from me

and it still keeps me up at night

There's an evil streak within your soul

I've seen these types before

one moment you seem wonderful

the next I'm on the floor

and not sure how I got here

or why your knife's against my throat

I had the audacity to think you cared

I don't think that anymore 

for in the face of denying 

that in which you want

you chose instead to concur 

all my hopes, my worth 

just gone

So now I see you clearly 

such a punitive little man

can't you see the real danger

how the tables have now turned

Oh, I seem so meek and mild

kind, forgiving, just a doll

but the moment your manipulation 

wore me tired 

I became a lurking shark 

Turn your back, now,

try it,

I'll rip out your worthless heart
