Sticks && stones

All these words trapped inside my head,
whispered words but never truly spoken.
Playing over and over to my broken reflection
but my lips shut tight to those that matter.
When I'm alone it's all there,
the perfect script to the perfect play,
but when I see your face all sound is trapped,
and those perfect words I choke upon,
so instead I sit there while you tear me down
with your words so full of malice and hate.

Did you ever hear the saying
sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will never hurt me?
Whoever thought that clearly never heard what you have to say.
Your words cut me deeper than any knife,
though not for lack of trying.
And no matter what I do, it's never enough.
Nothing I do is good enough for you anymore.
You find fault in everything I say,
in everything I do, even though everything I do is for you.
I try to do my best by you, I really try,
but still that's not good enough,
and still you tear me down
then wonder why I'm so broken.

You think I'm weak, that that's why I don't fight back.
But did it ever occur to you
that I'm stronger than you ever thought possible?
That maybe I don't back down out of fear,
but because I'm strong enough to know when to walk away.
Because that's what I'm doing, I'm walking away,
you're just too blind to notice.
But when the day comes that you finally open your eyes,
you'll see that you're all alone
and maybe then you'll realise
that words are bullets,
and they kill as good as any gun.

Author notes

So, one of my best friends, she's turned into a bit of a crazy bitch these past few months. She cracks it at me for everything, and I really mean everything. And it's just frustrating cause I do so much for her and it just hurts the way she throws it all back in my face. I'm really at the point where I just wanna walk away. I mean yea we still have some good times together, but it's getting harder and harder to remember that the bad times are worth it. Anyway I just needed to get some things off my chest, hope you enjoy it, if not, ah well.
