Your words are sickly sweet
You bruise me with the same hands
That held mine
You take me to Wonderland
And it's really a trap
Your eyes that shine like diamonds
Belong to a snake
Your self hatred became kindling
For the fire you burned me with
Your smile was the sun
Right before a storm
You were a home
That turned into a prison
Of fear, and hate, and pain
The bed we used to lay together in
Is too scary to walk near
The window I used to watch the rain out of
Is broken from your fist
Aiming at me
You were all I wanted
And I was just a play thing
Old and broken and boring
Worth nothing more
Than a kiss
Then a punch
"Daggers and Blood" is about an abusive relationship. It's very personal to me, but it reminds me of challenges I've overcame and me conquering fears and things that held me down. I hope someone can relate. Thank you for reading <3
