Chinese Zodiac Rivalry

Can you look me in the eyes and tell me you love me for who i am?
Do you know how much it hurts to know not even my own mother can?
Pain, distress, all these feelings i get comes from you and from all the things you have said.
I sometimes sit and wonder,
If you even hear the things you speak from your lips,
When tongues slither;
The snake does hiss.

The Chinese Zodiac it is what it is,
You are the snake and i the rat,
Also known as the fish.
I think you see me as dirty, lost, and in your trap.
I see you as the serpent,
The one that slithers along;
With a venomous bite-
That herself is so young.

It hurts, this pain from your torturous bites.
The Feeling of losing control as your poison seeps farther into my heart,
Im starting to give up this fight.

These eyes-
Are crying,
Swollen,
Im now numb from depression.
I find myself asking this simple question,
"Why".
