His words, a dagger, piercing my soul
A wound that festers, making me whole
Leaving me shattered, in a thousand ways
Leaving me empty, with a burning fire

His words, a poison, that spreads like a stain
A constant reminder, of my supposed shame
I yearn to break free, to rise above
But his voice echoes, a haunting, endless love

I'm trapped in this cycle,
A cycle of pain and fear
Longing to love, but doubting if I'm clear
To move forward, or to stay behind
Torn between love, and a heart that's left behind!
