No More

---

Turn my eyes to the floor

I dare not close them, for all I see

Is the nightmare that haunts me

Every time it grows cold and dark, and I know

Wishing on stars can’t help me now

---

Every word that is a lie

That you so easily let slip

From the lips that formed another name

Every sentence, every praise

Bites a hole into my brain, so please

Don’t speak your words of kindness

Even after so long, the teeth marks

You left still bleed and throb with rage

---

For every time your eyes wandered wrong

Mine shed a bitter, salted tear

Every footprint gone too far

Into the black pit of lusty sin

I tripped and fell over the line you toed

---

For every time you let your fingers lay

On that which did not belong to you

My face was slapped red and raw

---

Nightmares can only tell what went on

I dare not close my eyes, I dare not dream

Nighttime is so dark, and so are lies

Turn and stare with blank windows to the sky

Wish on the stars that won’t help me now
