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.
