You can share it with the world
your justified hate
pray the pseudo rosary
pretend to meditate
But see how you forget
when cursing out my name
to admit that you have yet
to accept some of the blame
You can purify your soul
scrawls of painful, angry verse
undermine the foolish fool
revalue your self-worth
But look me in the eye
with brutal honesty
remember I left you
after you walked out on me
Run, go write your heart out
accuse me of grave faults
Bury all of your secrets
in half-filled vaults
Battle ghosts and demons
proclaiming you were wronged
But I dare you to listen
to the real tune of our broken song
The lies you told me were small and few
but they kept me from knowing
and being with you
Not uncontrolled circumstances
or locks on people's gates
Just loss of total trust
and break of endless faith
I did my part for years
with patient heed
Faced all of my fears
and I did bleed...
So when you lament
of Beauty's love that failed
give half credit to the heart
that you knowingly impaled
