Nineteen- Feed me lies

I see it
The comments the remarks
I see them
And they sting

They won't sting as much as they used to
But they still sting
You think I don't hear what you're saying
You think I feel nothing

I can hear you whispering you know
I'm not as stupid as you portray
And how'd you say those things
You so carelessly manage to say

You were the ones
Supposed to permanently reside on my side
But you've been on the opposing team since forever
And then you wonder why I lied

Why I lied when I said it didn't hurt me
And I lied when I say I never needed you
Truth is, I don't
But I did then, and you never came through

You just fed me more lies
and prayed to god I'd swallow them
So you could enjoy another day
And I could enjoy growing even more numb

I laugh at my attempts to stop you
It requires hiding and staying quiet
Not a great way to fight you
But it's better than a riot

I tried the other option once
I wonder if you remember that
You almost beat me to death
On top of the words you spat

I knew right there
It was better to say nothing at all
Because I'd found someone angrier than me
And that's an achievement overall
