Your bitter words strike with weight and anger
Whilst cold eyes penetrate the silence
Cutting far deeper than a blade
Scarred, but no wound remains
Like a mole, words burrow deep in my mind
The fortress once locked is now open
Your smile reflects a game well played
As hopes banished from within
Fear driven conscience persuades me to stay
Open doors are no exit to leave
Whilst I choke on my denial
You gorge on your power
