With Every Path I Choose

With every path I choose, I know I always had something to lose.
But never did I think it was going to be you.
I put on my makeup; I look like I’m okay,
But how can you tell the difference on the outside when it is my heart breaking,
Shaking, crying every day, cold to the touch.
Because for you I have given up much.

Striped to the bone, naked in front of your eyes.
Told whispers, thought, and haunting lies.
Shackled by the pain, the knot that self-ties.
The angel whose tongue u ripped out can only now plead silent cries.

You held me there tightly, just before you cut out my heart.
You stained the white lace,
So continue down the road that you have decided to start,
Carried on your back, I can no longer part.
