You smother me

In your glowing arms;

My breath comes faster;

I cling to your poisonous charms.

I let you rise

While I beg you to

Back off and do the one

Thing that you won't ever do.

I lie to you

When I tell you to

Leave me alone

And it's so like you.

You understand me

But I can't control you

And it kills me every time

You do what I don't want you to.

Still I let you in

Even though I know

That at the end of the day

I'll have nothing to show.

You fill me up

Then leave me

In a cage

Without a key.

I see red

As my vision blurs

And I'm screaming

But I don't hear the words.

You've sent me

To a place

Where I can't

Even see his face.

I don't want to be like this

But you don't leave me any choice,

And I can't hear my words,

Just my angry voice.

I hate myself when I act this way,

But sometimes it feels so good

To just let go

And stand where you have always stood.

Sometimes I don't want to

Just be me,

'Cause every once in awhile

It feels good to be angry.

So I let you fill me up

Till I see red

And then later I will cry

Over all the things I said.
