The Threat

I endured the pain, silently.

I traded it for honesty.

After finally bleeding the truth, betrayed,

My only ally, suddenly swayed.

You walk my way, you say you love me.

But you took from me, so bitterly.

I want to scream at you in anger.

You were nothing but a traitor.

I loved you once, but I do no more,

Suffocated, nearly defeated, smothered.

Shedding the skin of who I was before,

All the tears I shed, ignored.

I detest you more with every breath,

For every single lie you speak.

You saw me bleed, watch as I wept,

You kept me down, and made me weak.

It was coming together,

I was doing well.

Now you're just a monster,

That I'll se in Hell.

You blamed me for the scars and tears,

You mad eme see red,

Confirmed all of my fears.

You made me wish that I was dead.

Fourteen times, sent back to you,

Bent, broken, and bleeding.

But what did you do?

You let me keep trying.

When I found help that wasn't you,

You tried to send them away.

You don't know him like I do;

He's here to stay.

I know who I am; you're in my way.

Take a step back, you don't belong here.

Don't bother trying to stay;

You were never sincere.

I'm not your girl anymore,

You don't know who I am.

The people I've come to abhor,

You never really gave a damn.

Cease your pretending,

Living your stupid lie.

The words keep spilling,

But you never see me cry.

So full of blame,

Does it get you far?

It's all another game,

That ends up as another scar.

Keep me down,

You're killing me.

In my blood and tears, I'll drown,

But you don't care to see.

You're not my family,

It's sickening.

You broke me, kept me down, and betrayed me,

You're all just disgusting...
