words they said
hurt more than the cut from a sword.

the lies I failed to see
stung more than bees.

no one knows I'm hollow within
from this overwhelming pain.

they didn't try to save me
they awaited death to fetch me.

they could win an Oscar,
for their lies that left a scar

engraved deep in my heart
for what I know not.
