Here She Dies

The silence broke my heart.

When I realized my words never really reached you.

From the cracks you left,

Hate comes seeping forth.

No more playing the happy girl.

I no longer fit that part.

What a relief it is,

To have the burden of your friendship,

Lifted from my shoulders.

Too long I've denied myself hatred.

I didn't want to be the monster they called me.

Here I draw the line,

I cast away my idealistic emotions.

Here I kill the light,

No more sympathetic sighs.

Here I destroy who I was,

Optimistic fool, girl with love to spare.

Oh, how good it feels to hate you.

To not have to love anything.

I deny myself no more.

I wanted love,

So I became something I thought lovable.

Oh, but she was hurt.

She was pushed around,

She was not strong enough,

She was weak and lied to.

Too much she forgave,

So here I kill her.

Good bye, sweet girl.

You don't have a place in this world.

This world is liars and thieves,

Who'll break your heart.

Oh, darling girl,

It's my turn now.
