This Shall Not Pass...

January 4th, 2009

You played my heart like a pendulum; up and down you played,
You sold my love for cheap, as the pain inside me swayed!

You broke my soul to pieces; to fractures you shattered my soul,
You strangled my hopes with wounding words and stood laughing through it all!

You crossed the lines too many times; all the lines I drew you crossed,
Accusing, demanding, eluding and faking, and my emotions you bossed!

But this shall not pass…
I’m not the one you use…
Yeah, this will not pass…
My heart you will no longer abuse…
No, this shall not pass…
This time I will turn around…
No, this shall not pass…
Don’t try to speak, don’t utter a sound…

I tried so hard to tell you, I begged you to listen to what I have to say:
“My love to you is very strong yet you’re crumbling it all away!”

I held on to you tightly; tightly I held on as your thrones cut me deep,
A beautiful flower of a kind you were; one which was hard to keep!

I inhaled my sorrow and sips of your venom in my veins I soaked in,
I watched myself hinder away, I saw you stare, I saw you grin!

But this shall not pass…
It’s like calling me by her name…
Yeah, this will not pass…
I know I’m the one to blame…
No, this shall not pass…
This masquerade must stop…
No, this shall not pass…
Before you grip me to the last drop…
