Blinded By Selfishness

Her cold black eyes shed tears tonight...

as she cries herself to sleep.

My empty eyes laugh out in spite,

no need for me to weep.



She screamed in my face,

expecting me to cower down like in the past.

But, I made her choke on her own hate.

This abuse shall be the last.



She just doesn't understand,

the little girl she remembers is not me.

I resist those slaps given by her hand.

I won't sustain any injuries.



Yes, I'm all to blame.

I ruined your life.

It's really such a shame,

that I feed on your pain and strife.



*Sarcastically smiles*



Youre so blinded by your own reflection...

that you couldn't see my tears if you tried.

Like always, we walk in the opposite direction,

you cry for pity, but every tear is a lie.



You complain when I'm here,

you complain when I'm away.

You complain about laughter...tears...

on cloudy and sunny days.



There is no way to please you.

I learned this as a child.

You say I only care about Jess, but thats so untrue.

I wanted nothing more than to be perfect for you and make you smile.



It's hard seeing you when I glance into the mirror.

It's hard having the same emotionless look on my face.

I dont want to be like you but i fear...

that I've come close to taking your place.



Keep screaming until your lungs bleed.

I'll sit and watch the glass shatter.

Throw the first punch...i'll follow your lead.

Even if I did care, it wouldn't matter.
