My Scream Into the Void

Consequences

They told me to hold on
Then you made me cry
And to me that confirmed
My need to say goodbye

You don't even know
Your words sting like knives
And each hurtful phrase
Dims the light in my eyes

You haven't seen the tears
That course down my face
You haven't seen the consequences
Your actions set in place

And I can't blame you at all
You don't understand
But I'd rather bite off my arm
Then reach again for your your hand
