Face Down
March 23, 2011
Your hand raised,
You leave scars,
You're no man,
"It doesn't hurt",
But it does,
Falling tears,
Mine.
Cover up,
For you not me,
"I fell down the stairs",
I'm saving you,
No one for me,
Tell someone,
Never.
Fight back,
I'll fall,
"What's wrong",
Everything is,
Another hit,
Another scar,
You're no man.
Head down,
Another bruise,
"I'm tired",
Of you,
More lies,
It's sick,
Pathetic.
Face down,
Get back up,
"I've had enough",
I mean it,
You yell back,
I turn,
Leave.
You're no man,
You hit,
You yell,
You're dirt,
Face down,
"I love you",
Lie.
