I let you throw daggers at me, from afar

You watched, as my heart slowly bled

Piercing my chest, this imminent pain

I wondered if you wished I was dead

The anger in your eyes, unsettling

They were blank, I was no longer there

You killed me, without saying a word

I knew now, you just didn’t care

Years of fighting within myself

Excuses, kept me hidden in the dark

Trying to cover the scars on my soul

Sadly, your hate left its mark
