Domestic Brutality

I was on a high

But I'm crashing like always

He pulled me down

Hurt by my selfish deeds

All I wanted

Were arms around me

But that's too much to ask

Because I've never felt so alone

The civil war

Between the two most important

Men

In my life

Is a violent bloody one

And it's pulling me in

I'm being dragged against

My better judgement

The digs cut through me

The glares are bullets

In my heart

We can't all fake it

For the camera

This is the real world

And I can't stop them

I must wait

For the dust to settle

I loved him

Since that class

They said it takes only

A fifteenth of a second

To fall in love

As soon as I saw that smile

I was gone

Hopeless falling

And he agreed

To be my poison

Because I was

In a way

His antidote of a poisonous

Life

He played me like

His guitar

And treasured me for awhile

But then he fell to ruins

Tearing at the seams

I tried to stitch him up

But all I managed was

Pricking my finger

And sewing me

To his heart

The other side though

Held only understanding

After the stitches were

Cut

He made me laugh

Made me feel cared about

Understood me

I did the same for him

We kept each other here

Compared to hung

From our nooses

Because we have issues

With dealing with life

Especially with shitty ones

I told him of my love

And he retreated from me

As I begged for forgiveness

My lover won't talk to me

About it

Both are too proud

To admit defeat

I feel like I'm the one beaten

But I might just be torn

The pain

Makes it numb

No one can see how hard this is

On me

He isn't a player

And he isn't a liar

Finally

I am not a whore

But who can see anymore

In this smoky battle field

They can't see their enemy

So their

Shots in the dark

Strike me lethally

Just like the snake

Living in my heart

Waiting to strike at the next

Fighter

Their bodies lie before me

I want to save them

But I'm in a useless position

I'm lying myself

Bleeding out

The venom in my soul

They wouldn't listen

The dust has settled

We all lost this

War
