Crime scene in the mirror

Scars across my heart

Red and ugly

They scathe my flesh

And rot my soul

No longer your gentle maid

For I am filled with vengeance

Wanting to cut you

Yearning to see you bleed for me

Burning with seething hate

Absolutes are all that are visible

Scratch away at your skin

Until I reach your core

Tear away all that you are

Leave you barren

Used me and discarded my love

Like so much refuse

You treated me with distain

While I cried on your shoulder

Leave me and let me die inside

I demand retribution

To split you into ribbons

Smile as the red velvet

Smears across your face

Killing your diseased smirk

I am alone in this domain

Head full of memories

Heart filled with agony

I want to rip it out

And stamp out this longing

Ascending to the stars

I listen to your pleas

Above you so high

Looking down with loathing

Cry for me, drown in your tears

Fallen angels weep for you

As they have not known this fury

Wipe out your spirit

Leave you broken

Listening to the cries of the damned

Eyes that lied

And lips that promised heaven

Arms that I moored my hopes on

Reality was a hurricane

Dashing my dreams to dust

Oblivious to my pain

You pierced my soul

And left an indelible mark

Scrub myself clean

Of your terrible touch

Torture you with my words

Bind you with my emotions

Savor your terror

Submit to my anger

And be rewarded with emptiness

Flip the switch

And you love me no longer

Pass away from my sight

For you are a trespasser here

My love is off limits to you

Dark thoughts circle overhead

As I demand your attention

Crushed to my knees

Under the weight of the knowledge

That my time for revenge is here

In the world of pain

I pray for relief

No more deception

Bleed for you no longer

The world will stand still

Devotion is fleeting

As was your love

Leave me with jagged scars

That do nothing but fuel my anger

For you are nothing in my eyes
