You Spoke, But You Lied.

by Unseen Exposure   Mar 9, 2005




You said that you would love me
While you ripped my insides apart
You said you wouldn't hurt me
As you slowly pacified my heart

Drink away all you think you can
You'll never escape the pain
Climb the broken walls of sanity
But they'll never keep you sane

Strangers are what we are now
Losing touch and far from home
But you're with me still, always
In every single place I roam

You said that you needed me
While you went and slept with her
I watched it all go down before me
I watched everything occur

Cut away what you can bleed
Leave the embers by the knife
Skin peeled back and severed
Scab, rip, slit, and slice

Distant, we're so distant
Never mind the miles in between
You said you'd be there for me
And yet I remain unseen

I trusted you, gave you my life
Independence depended on you
Thought we'd walk hand in hand
Some plans, some thoughts fall through

Break me, I feel you in my heart
Thrusting your hate-work inside
Beaming anger from blood red tears
I believed you, but I believe you lied.

-- I want to change the title, any suggestions?? --

    I think the title fits perfectly.
    I LOVE this piece.
    You displayed such utter betrayl from a person that you cherished, it pulled the reader into your reality with the sense of manipulation and distraught that was brought upon in the piece.
    I loved these lines,
    "Drink away all you think you can
    You'll never escape the pain
    Climb the broken walls of sanity
    But they'll never keep you sane"
    I LOVED those lines, really captivated me with the anger and resentment.

    Also admired these lines, greatly,
    "Cut away what you can bleed
    Leave the embers by the knife
    Skin peeled back and severed
    Scab, rip, slit, and slice"
    I loved that you created such graphic violence with the sufferage of the betrayl.
    Excellent, excellent work
