Conquer

Long ago I thought you were the friend that I can count on
Long ago I thought I could depend on you to make this frown gone
However now I realize you’re the reasons why my frown spawns
From dusk til dawn I wondered what was wrong with me, why I'm here
But evidently you were the root of my issues and my fears
Now I remember you’re why I shed all those countless tears
It’s ever so clear to me, the pieces are all falling into place
The same time you embraced me you pushed away for some space
And your face is seared into my memory I hate not forgetting
Letting you ruin my life day after day I’m sitting here regretting
Ever wasting my time cause for you I would’ve given my life
Funny how I loved you and tried to work through the strife
Funny how you called me your wife and in you I used to confide
Funny how you tried to manipulate me and slowly killed me inside
Funny how you tried for so long but you didn’t succeed
I now realize and laugh merely at your low self esteem
Look who’s the vulnerable one now, sad and begging in need
Funny how you thought you were invincible now who’s the one that bleeds?
Nervousness is obvious, beads of sweat running down your cheek
Wait, that’s not sweat it seems the outside is just as brittle and weak
As I once was, I’m meek now, but I stand tall and watch you crumble and fall
From down the hall I hear you yelling as your head hit the wall
Now let me see if at all I can remember your monologue right
I’ll look down at you and recite “stop crying, bitch. Just shut up and keep quiet”
