Torn Asunder

The words you use on me will choke inside

Your mouth is closed but you still lie

You just let the days go by

Leaving accusations behind

Still expecting everything to be alright

But I'm not blind

I'm basking in hindsight

Everything is not fine

Even when I towed the line

It wasn't

It's funny the things we miss when we're busy being pleasant

When the company that keeps us is sometimes anything but

These words you use on me are not the type I wish to hear

They are gaps to fill your void from year to year

They'll leave you grieving

A never ending need without a hope of succeeding

Of never knowing me at all

But I'll gladly take the fall

For these groups of words never spoken aloud

Yet you were just part of the crowd

Of grievances worn proudly on your puffed out chest like badges you never earned

Because you never earned my time I just gave it away 

And you used it to question me 

Those doubts were never mine to carry

The results may vary

But the only thing that changed was time and my mind
