Sugar-Coated Lies

I don’t know what to believe anymore,

Your lies drip sweet, but they rot at the core.

Sugar-coated melodies messing with my head,

Knocking me down, leaving me for dead.

You feed me poison, wrapped in honey,

Blurring the hurt, twisting the ugly.

But the scars, they scream beneath my skin,

A broken love we’ll never win.

Show me the light you always sell,

But it flickers out like a burning shell.

I’m lost in gray, where shadows play,

And your ghost keeps pulling me astray.

Every time I start to forget,

You claw your way in, filled with regret.

The walls I built, now shattered remains,

Dust and rubble soaked in my pain.

I’m done cleaning up what you destroy,

Your love was a weapon, not a toy.

The echoes of you still linger here,

But I’m sick of drowning in your fear.

You’ve bled me dry, there’s nothing to give,

I’m not your fool—I’ve got my life to live.

You crushed my heart into the dirt,

Like the pain you caused didn’t hurt.

What was ours is slipping away,

I’m taking it back, day by day.

Piece by piece, I’m finding me,

Breaking free from what used to be.

So don’t pull me in, I’m done with the game,

This time, I’ll rise above the flame.

Your lies taste bitter; the truth’s my cure,

The cracks you left, I’ll make them pure.

I’ve got nothing left to give to you,

But for myself, I’ll start brand new.

As the storm fades, I’ll reclaim my name,

Stronger now, through all the pain.

What was once yours is no longer mine,

I’ll take it back—one heartbeat at a time.
