Shot By Words

I've been brought down by words
so many times before,
but never have I been shot
so deeply in my heart with lies!

The scars you left don't go away,
they play the strings of my heart
where it always hurts the most,
as all you do is watch me fall apart.

But my eyes are now wide open,
seeing that I was leading a fake life
by trying to hold on to your fading love.

And my arms are now closed,
as we become silently destroyed
until there is nothing left on the other side
but a blank space.
