Afflictions

by MysteryMan   Jun 7, 2020


I can put a bandage on an open sore
Give it time and watch it heal
The lies you told weren’t as easily fixed
Those wounds I still feel
They sliced this skin so finely
From that pain forced this heart to bleed
But yet I keep coming back to you
As if more pain I need
Your kiss goodbye cut me each time
As if they were made of glass
You murdered the word love so convincingly
A lie I never asked
Each time we kissed scorched a little
I knew for you it was something different felt
Burned by the hurt you ensued
How that flame caused this heart to melt
Your lies shot right through me
Piercing this fragile skin so cold
Urning for you I have my hands held out
But yet no heart to hold
As if I needed to feel the hurt
You tore my heart each time we laid
Injured from the pain you inflict
I know I must walk away
As much it hurts to be without you
Staying only hurts more so
Numb from the many AFFLICTIONS
I have to let you go
