BITTERsweet

  I'm cut off and stale
empty of emotions for you
YOU SELFISH BASTARD
Without the slightest regard for me but
that's fine anyway
i got over you
still in your arms....still in your life
still in your heart so you stabbed
a dull knife through my back
I didn't even know it was happening
you turned it
you twisted it
but I did not bleed
I may have died inside
of you
but these remains brought me back
from the dead
and I am going to be bigger
than
you'll
ever
be
