Nowhere To Hide

Why is it when I see you coming? All I want to do is take off running Is it fear that makes me want to flee Or something else deep inside of me When our paths cross I close my eyes I can’t look at the face I despise Your voice pierces me deep into my soul Wondering around like an evil little troll Total destruction you leave in your wake But there is no more to give; there is no more to take Stuffed full of pride, I think you would burst Too arrogant to see but that’s not the worst Hate has filled this withered heart of yours Not for others mind you but for yours it pours Afflicting pain to others to even the score You hurt me but I can hurt you more Words are your weapon you like to boast Carefully placing them where they would hurt the most Saddest thing about you is the hurt you carry inside You started running but found nowhere to hide So instead of running I will stay where I stand To show you love you never could understand
