Mentiroso

My heart has been broken

It has been stomped on

And torn apart by so many lies spoken

I can handle all that

I have been deceived

betrayed And abandoned

For that I’ve grieved

I can handle all that

I have dragged a knife through my skin

I was raped and assaulted more times than I can count

Abused in every form and locked in a looney bin

I can handle all that

My mind has been played with

Brainwashed, broken, And tortured

I’ve learned that love is a myth

I can handle all that

Today I stopped breathing

My heart stopped beating

And I realized I will never trust or love again

I will spend the rest of my life bleeding

I can handle all that

Seeing your face and Hearing your voice telling your lies

Feeling the weight of you in the room and the piercing gaze of your eyes

I can handle all that

You knowing how I feel every minute of every day

feeling my heart

And seeing my thoughts...

My own body betraying me, helping you set up your next play

I can’t handle all that.

I’d rather die than ever again allow you in

So watch me build up all those walls again

Watch me disappear from your life and Feel the bond break...

Feel the moment when your lifeline to me goes flat

And tell me can you handle all that?
