The End

You left me in tatters, babe
You tore off a shred every day
My pain brought you not dismay
but indifference.

You taught me to lie and fake
You darkened my soul a shade
I paid for your sour ways
I gave no defense.

But now see my skin is thick
Penance grew my grin, it clicked
that you’re just horribly sick
and I’ve reached the end

Yet still all those years you took
I saved every side-eyed look
My mind is a pad-locked book
of your influence

You don’t deserve the time I spend
You live inside my mind and rend
it apart from end to end
You’ll forever condescend
Remind me why I can’t mend.
