Bleeding, Frozen

You really don't know
Do you?
The anguish you have caused me
Has yet to depart

I gave you every last vestige of my happiness
You gave me heartbreak
Everything was for you, only you
Never a second thought of me

If only things were different
If the tables were turned, so to speak
How would you feel
If I was to do it to you?

Then again, how would it make me feel?
Putting you through the sorrow?
I wouldn't be able to live with it
How can you?

Do you enjoy making others feel
Like your own personal whipping toy?
Does it fill you with joy?
It would only fill me with grief

I'm tired of these games
There will never be a clear-cut winner
I'm throwing in the towel
I've lost; but yet, I've won

Your years of torment are a distant memory now
No longer will I have to deal with your selfishness
The pain is still here
But the source is gone

Yet your image still haunts me
Every day I am reminded of you somehow
I try not to make the same mistakes
That I have made in the past

I am much better off without you
You are no longer a part of my life
But your petty deeds are etched deep into my soul
I pray they'll disappear

The torture that you bestowed upon me
I try not to subject anyone else to it
But you cut me so deep
I am still bleeding

But merely wishing for them to vanish
Is like standing in a blizzard without a coat
No matter how hard I try
I will still remain frozen

Please depart from my existence
You have no place in it anymore
I no longer need you
I'm not sure I ever did
