Have I Scared You

Fear and agony Have pushed away Any rational thought. No longer is a smile sweet But it’s filled with Daggers and Ice. Silence is bliss, Speaking and listening Causes more pain that I bear. Strength, I have lost I feel nothing. Being numb takes it all away. Hurt me. I won’t cry. Give me the knife, I’ll start the cut. We’ve been here for a while People have pushed you and me Have you been pushed to insanity? Insanity’s spark has completely flamed We don’t reason with each other Will you kill me first? Should I stop? Am I scaring you? Shame. I’ve only just begun. We were happy, What happened to us? Was it her? That woman that haunts The outermost regions Of your mind. Do you love me Or do you love Her? Scared yet? I hope not. Let the Hunt begin. I’ll hurt you good. Allow me to give You a head start The first punch Maybe you can Knock me out Before I pull my knife I’ll slam you into the Wall. Don’t try to run. I’ll hunt you down. Isn’t funny How you used to scare me? Speak your mind. I’m a big girl I can take it. Oh, I’ve said too much. I think you’ve finally Had enough. Sign our souls away to the Devil. Send me home. Let me show you The scars you’ve left All the pain you’ve caused. It’s all here, every little mark You’ve left on me I remember it all. Broken And bloody One the floor. You see? Being Numb isn’t bad, It only hurts those around you.
