Crashing down

When we met,

It was highs and butterflies.

Your hand on my thighs,

The looks you gave

That melted me down.

And in the wave

I never thought it would end.

Then the walls came crashing down.

I took all the blame

What more should I give?

I took all the fault

And the hurt and the pain.

I cried for days

Screaming the pain

The lies you portrayed.

You tore me to pieces

Gaslit and lied.

I took all the blame

But that wouldn't suffice.

You had your hand in it

But you'd only deny

You wanted me dead

At the end of this bloody game.

You wanted me broken in the end.

I tried so hard

Every breath to defend.

I didn't see you as the villain.

I wanted the world

To treat you with respect

I didn't want to ruin

The image you had.

Then the walls came crashing down.

The lies they lost

Your cloak of lies

Lay tattered by the truth.

Showing your colors

But somehow I did that

Though I kept my mouth shut

Trying to defend you

Nearly losing me in the process.

You tore me to pieces

Gaslit and lied.

I took all the blame

But that wouldn't suffice.

You had your hand in it

But you'd only deny

You wanted me dead

At the end of this bloody game.

You wanted me broken in the end.

So now you are angry

Because I'm not silent

Took up my torch

Now I'm leading the riot.

I won't be broken

I won't be torn

You can't silence me anymore.

Make your threats

Ruin my life

You'll just show more

Your lies and the strife.

I've got the righteous

On my side.

I don't need to prove

That I'm not wrong.

Because you tore me to pieces.

You Gaslit and lied

I'd taken the blame.

That didn't suffice.

So now this angel

Is armored for war.

You've made the devil out of me.
