You Have Won

I cannot control this rage
Its time to turn the page
You never are there for me 
You always end up leaving 

The pain that I am in 
It doesnt show on my skin 
The cuts within me 
They continuely bleed

With every word you say 
Turn my skin a shade of gray
It hurts to think of how it used to be 
Memories that flow like a current in the sea

They are nothing but memories now
Its time to take another bow
And there is no more to be done
For you have won

You have won another game 
And it is me that you say is to blame
I am always anyway 
It is me to be slain 

Its for the best
To end this mess 
I can not go on
Once again you have won
