Self Destruct
You hold your cards
A smile stretches across your face
But I’ll beat you at your own game
Defeat you with my ace.
You stole my heart away
And I’ll fight to get it back
Oh my dear
Things will only get worse from here.
So shut your eyes
This won’t hurt a bit
You won’t want to witness
The murder I’ll commit.
The hum of the dagger
The strike of the blade
The edges are sharp
Cutting open the veins.
Running on broken mirrors
That reflect the pain
Pale cuts still deep
The scars will remain.
I should have seen it coming
I knew you’d break my heart
The damage is now done
Now watch me break your world apart.
You don’t need my help
The devious plan I construct
Is I wont have to lift a finger
I’ll just watch you self destruct.
I was your little puppet
With strings tied to your black soul
But I’m cutting the bonds loose
And taking back control.
You caught me off guard
Then kicked me when I went down
But I know you’ll get your karma
What goes around comes around.
My eyes sharpened
Fire burned in my eyes
Only a lone tear is shed
As I watch you die.
But this is my revenge
I hope you are well aware
You’ll never understand how much you hurt me
This crime fails to compare.
I died in silence
The act was done in secret
The day I died cold and alone
I will not soon forget.
I raise the dagger
Plunged it into your chest
Smiled when it was over
The act was relieving and final at best.
You take in a sour last breath
Your probably to distant to hear
But I kneel down by your side
To whisper “I love you” in your ear.
