Ice man


 
 
 
 
 
Do you think what you say doesn’t hurt
Because i'm here to tell you it does
Your words are like a hot knife
Piercing deeper and deeper with each sentence 
You think you can say anything through a screen
But in reality you're just a coward 
Who doesn't like confrontation
Or that's what I thought
When confronted you all of a sudden 
Rely on your fists instead of words
I never thought I would miss your harsh words 
And instead of walking away with reassurance 
Like I had hopped
I walk away all bloody and hurt
It's like you're holding my life in your hands
And you smother me in them
So maybe i should take my life 
Would that make you happy
Would that make things alright
Of course it would but
Reading this may be your next victim 
And i'm here to tell you something so listen up
Don't fall for those icy blue eyes
Or that chocolate brown hair
Because all that will come out of it
Is you meeting your lord and savior 
Speaking as a person hurt by him
Im ready
For god to take my sole
To the place where 
I may speak no words
Trust me
You dont wanna be like me
Life is a beautiful thing
That you should never want to end
But i do
I want it to end
I just want to be forgotten
