When I Finally Broke
I have been defeated
My battle cry transfigured into silent tears rolling down my cheeks
My middle finger morphed into a fist
Which changed into busted knuckles
Then nails digging into my skin to hold myself back from screaming
Now a fragile hand
Reaching for something...
Anything
Offered a knife
Then cut open with the word pathetic
Everyone that promised to fight for me betrayed me
Without the decency to do it
While I was watching..no
I suppose the golden rule is wait until someone's back is turned
Then screw them over
(I'll have to remember that)
Now I just don't believe in love and friendship
They're both nasty lies someone told me
Made me believe
To make me look weak
Since he left
No one else who has tried to take his place has managed to mean a thing to me
