They say that love is grand

They say that love is grand

They say that love is grand

Too bad it's all a lie,

I loved you with my all

And yet you walked all over me.

You took me for granted

I was just a doll,

Someone to take your frustration out on.

You said your were sorry

It would never happen again,

Yet here I am full of pain.

I stand in front of my mirror

Shattered and bloody from were I put my fist,

Shattered and bloody, just like me.

I look into the broken glass

I see a broken soul,

Collapsing from the shattered center.

I glare in hate at the reflection

Knowing the beaten shown is me,

My weakness making me easy prey.

I wait for you to come home

To beat me like always,

To tear my soul apart.

But this time I am ready

My knife by my side,

I wait by the door ready to run.

As you walk in I see your anger

I feel uncertain for a moment

But as you slap me in the face,

I know what I must do.

As you come closer to choke me

I stab you in the chest

I stand for a second mesmerized by the blood.

A moment later I run out the door,

Fleeing for my life.

Even as it slowly ends,

When I can go no further I look behind me

I see the splattered blood trail,

I see you in the distance catching up.

A smile from on my bloody lips

Just before you reach me,

I smile at you in victory.

I told you I would win

And now I have,

And as I fall dead

I know that I am free.
