Leave It All Behind

I've kept it bottled up inside

This pain ... unforgivng

The imperfection is much too shy

To dominate me, control me

I see it's much too lateI bitch from head to toe about this sweet embrace

And how it faltered

The wickedness that followed as the 'we' turned 'I'

Finally overflowedTaking the time to call out the tears

Waiting for it to fall, all the years

Pushing for me to leave it all behind

Forcing me to believe I'll never findPainting over your name in blood

To set the permanence free

Though I cut the scars to mask the scars you left behind

It still lingers
