If Only They Knew

If only they could see your tar-soaked heart

like I do

If only they could see how easily you deceive

with your mask of glittering lies,

hiding viper tongue and arrogant eyes;

They think you are so thoughtful and kind

but if only they could see

how you feed on me-

draining my soul

with your cruel words and vindictive deeds,

your cold heart leaving me to bleed;

If only they knew

what is behind my empty eyes

If only they knew

why I broke in two
