You entered loud with holy light
a savior in disguise
but every blessing that you gave
hid thorns behind the prize
😵💫
You study me like prey to stalk
you mirror, you twist, repeat
Build an inventory of my wounds
then worship at my feet
😵💫
Your love arrives in fireworks
then leaves in quiet dread
I learned to walk on splintered eggs
and hush the things I've said
😵💫
Your hate arrives in quiet jabs
in smirks that split me thin
you watch me doubt my very breath
and count that as a win
😵💫
Your voice, a heavy sharpened blade
slicing me with every word
you say the storms are in my head
and to dismiss everything I heard
😵💫
You spin the truth until it bends
until I can't recall
what's real, what's mine, what's memory...
you rearrange it all
😵💫
You call me crazy, unstable, wrong
and push until I break
then I'm the one who's crazy
and should learn from my mistakes
😵💫
You slam the doors like loaded guns
then leave without a trace
you crawl back in with empty vows
and hands that cup my face
😵💫
Your apologies are empty shells
a script you never feel
you toss around those empty words
and swear your tears are real
😵💫
You punish me for speaking up
and smile while I plead
You fill me with your poison love
you swear it's all I need
😵💫
Cuz I'm the one who started it
I'm the one untrue
but madness wasn't born in me
it's what I breathe from you
