Remember
Touch me in silence
Remember the violence
A golden teddy bear
Sees the look in your eyes I so fear
In a cup sits a lonely daffodil
And I pour in my tears to watch it fill
But I'm arrested by the look in your eyes
Torn apart by all of your lies
I'm not the man I once was
My head aches from the constant buzz
Nauseated from some black narcotic
My reactions to your touch are robotic
Your love is a curse
A replaying and broken verse
I can't live with you
But I cannot live without you
Every time you kiss me
Liberates me and sets me free
Only to be reeled in by your drugs
Because you're a thug
I'm just some ugly thing
With numerous scars that sting
The wounds of our long romance
Always giving you another chance
Touch me in silence
Remember the violence
You're just a bastard
Seen only through broken shards
You're just a fragment
Used up and spent
I loved you, I loved you
I've broken you, I'm through
