Three simple words


Screams, words, scratching Lies, tears, hatred Time, lost, blind Scrapes, scars, healing Ruined by fate They were leaving Things fell apart So did I Undoing my time Scars always appearing Getting no better No lessons learned Past mistakes remembered No one believing Scratching, scrapes, scars Cuts, bleeding, tears Lesser of evils Having to hide A fake smile A silly laugh A bigger lie Scratching, scrapes, scars Cuts, bleeding, tears Three simple words Hiding so much Meaning so little Just like me I'm full of Scratching, scrapes, scars Cuts, bleeding, tears
