In the darkest of times,
When my tears no longer flow,
My voice no longer speaks,
And my heart breaks,
You stare at me.
Condemn me for showing emotion,
For showing my scars,
The very same you inflicted,
You shattered my dreams,
My confidence,
My belief,
My trust,
The protection I deserved,
From YOU,
Became the protection I needed
From YOU.
Now tell me, isn't that enough?
Haven't you shattered enough already?
You robbed me of my childhood,
My adulthood too?
Take my death too,
Because you, oh you!
You are INSATIABLE.
