Mark My Words

You stabbed me for the hundredth time
When I saw you looking at me like that
Cringing with fright as if I'd skin you alive
My reflection in your eyes is distorted
And you hate me

Don't you know that my love is gentle..?
It's not intended to choke you
But I will let you walk away
I will just endure the pain
If love must die, I'll try to forget you

I packed my bags and they are heavy
Yet I must go on
As I stole my last glance of you
I beheld a smile adorning your face
You confused me for the millionth time

You touched my doubtful heart
When you smiled your wonderful smile
Don't hide from me anymore
I can hear the screams of your soul
Just as I can see the tenderness in your eyes
