Love Lies

Love lies.
And I was never in love.
I will deny it every time you ask.
I will say "No."
I will say "It didn't mean anything."
I will say "I'm fine."

Love liesIn your fingertips as you trace
The curves of my body,
Memorizing every turn. 
And I was happy.

But suddenly I'm screaming and
Holding my head in my hands
Because I can't remember how to breathe.
And I'm pounding my dashboard because
I can't handle listening to this song anymore. 
But I don't like the silence.

Love lies,And I didn't ask for this. 
I didn't mean to spit my heart out so close
To your feet because you keep stepping on it
And I don't think you even realize it. 

I don't want to lean into your words
As they fall from your soft lips
Because I know that they're false. 
And it makes me angry as hell. 

I guess this is what I'm saying:
I don't need you. 
I don't want you. 
I was never yours. 

Love lies.
And I was never in love.
I will deny it every time you ask.
I will say "No."
I will say "It didn't mean anything."
I will say "I'm fine."

I am the one..

I am the kicked.
I am the punched.
I am the stabbed.
I am the healed.

I am the victim.
I am the savior.
I am the demon.
I am the angel.

I am the injured.
I am the scarred.
I am the pure.
I am the dark.

I am the light.
I am the broken.
I am the mute.
I am the blind.

I am the disabled.
I am the deaf.
I am the lie.
I am the truth.

I am the glutton.
I am the lust.
I am the greed.
I am the envy.

I am the wrath.
I am the sloth.
I am the pride.
I am the void.

We are the victims.
We are the abused.
We are the unseen.
We are the unheard.

We are the forgotten.
We are the used.
We are the unimportant.
We are the invisible ones.

I am the weak.
I am the strong.
I am the willful.
I am the spiritless.

I am the hope.
I am the light.
I am the child.
I am the happy.

I am the prince.
They are the dragon.
You are the princess.
They are the tower.

I am the strangled.
I am the mangled.
I am the mutilated.
I am the murdered.

I am the hanged.
They are the judges.
I am the defendant.
I am the guilty.

They are the jury.
I am the criminal.
You are the audience.
And no one is the judge.

I am the peace.
I am the order.
I am the discord.
I am the nothing.

I am the abused.
They are the abuser.
You are the witness.
I am the victim.

I am the nothing.
I am the silence.
I am the unseen.
I am not here.
