Legos


 

Glares full of hatred and hormones

Rooms full of screams and loud moans

Mouths full of insults and "I love you"'s

He's gonna kiss you then shove you

And tell you he never wanted you

He'll cover you in bruises

And leave you in ruins 

And come back with bandaids and hold you till the bruises fade

But the scars never do

And you start to believe what he tells you is true 

He build you to break you

Like a four year old with legos

You're weak as plastic

 

 

Your cheeks still sting

And your ears still ring

And your head still aches

And it's your sanity he takes

It's your heart he breaks

And you pray he goes to hell for heaven's sake
