Tarnished
It took so much to see what you left destroyed
You had it at one time, but you left it here denied
I don't know how to make you want what you don't have
And you bask in tiny smiles, but I stand here so defiled
A tortured scream can mimic all that's in your soul
Did you think that you were pure? Because I never thought you were
You took for keeps the things I thought I never had
And you locked them deep inside and wore them on your pride
Hate washes clean
The mask is stripped away
Your poison flows into my veins
