Poison

How could you be so cruel?
I must have been a fool 
To have trusted in you so

The pricks and stings you've induced
Will you just let my heart loose? 
If only for my sake 

I'm disillusioned and bruised, 
Shattered from my muse
Having been hurt and deceived 
How could I have believed you would change?

I now see you at last
It was gone so fast, 
The facade of your soul

Your wrath has spread 
And your anger is being fed 
By all these false reasons...

You're distorted and fake,
 You don't ask, you just take
Did you ever have respect? 
Or just selfishness and neglect 
To spread all around

I'm shaken and confused 
After all that's been accused 
And I can only wonder why.

Hatred has poisoned you 
As I feel it's infection too
Just don't use your venom on me

I'm exhausted with this 
And I can't say I'll miss
How you've gone against all reason 
And I'll never again believe in
What I once thought you were...

Your poison has infected 
All those you've rejected
And I'm the sickest of them all.

So I've finally cut you out 
Can you really dare to doubt?
I've made my choice 
And I'm raising my voice
Against your poison...
