Scarlet Letter
I thought I knew a trust
I thought I held a key
To understanding honesty
faith and reality
The love I knew I felt so sure
Slipped away from me
Slowly sliding off
In between my cold fingers
Lifeless and out of harmony
A friendship you say you hold so dear
A guilt brought unto me
I feel no shame
In lies untold
Brought to life by you
Cold cruel darkness
Sleepless nights
Questioning all I know
So long ago
This pain I felt I thought was true
It still lingers in the night
Haunting all my days
Sorrow lingers in your mind
You say leave it all behind
Selfish and un hurt
You tell me your so hurt
Yet no scars are on your face
The marks are deep
Blood still trickles from the wounds
Of the words you spoke unto me
A Scarlet letter stichted unto my hands
Everyone now knows the pain I have endured
The lies I supposedly told
Why do you speak to me
As if you've never known
The pain you caused to me
Like I never told how much hurt you brought unto me
This letter on my hands
Will be there for eternity
The words you know you spoke
Were told to me so cruel
Yet you still smile and nod your head
Telling me you are a friend
A trust I'll never let you hold
A place you'll never fill again
That's why I tell you now
How much you hurt me then
Look at my cold hands
And the scarlet letter sewn unto them
