SCARS

SCARS

There was a time when I thought you were different
Like I finally found someone to treat me an as equal
But now you’ve removed all doubt and cast yourself in a dark light

Honesty truly is the best policy
What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive
Now is the ultimate test of devotion and fortitude
Earn my trust back or forever piss away the best thing that will ever happen to you

I sit here wondering if you ever gave a damn about me
Or if everything was a lie
I took down my wall and let you in
Instead of giving me what I gave you, you raped and pillaged

Now my world is on fire and nothing is left
No one is perfect, myself included, but there’s no excuse for this
I guess I should just be happy that you took ownership of your wrongs
But that doesn’t heal my scars as they remain wide open and gushing
