Your words are like a double-edged sword,
Cutting deep into my heart and soul,
But I cannot help but feel drawn to the pain,
As if it's the only thing that makes me whole.

I try to turn away from your sharp tongue,
To shield myself from the hurt and pain,
But I keep coming back, again and again,
Like a moth to a flame, I'm drawn to the game.

You hold all the power in your hands,
With every word you speak, I'm at your command,
But I know that I can't keep playing this game,
For the pain you bring will only lead to shame.

So I'll take a step back and break free from your hold,
And I'll find a new path, one that's paved with gold,
I'll leave your words and your pain behind,
And I'll find a love that's gentle and kind.
