How Does It Feel

How does it feel to know you've destroyed me

to know that you've caused me pain

to see the person you have made me

to know that you drive me insane.



How does it feel to hear my cries

to see the tears stream down my face

to know what you do is wrong

to put me in this painful place.



How does it feel to go to sleep

knowing i'll do the same in tears

to see the pain within myself

when I can not look in the mirror.



How does it feel to say goodbye

to a person you put in the grave

'cause her depression started with you

without that, would have been saved.



How does it feel to hear these words

especially if they are for you

the fact that you must carry on

and the fact that it's all true.

i love the lines

"to know that you've caused me pain
to see the person you have made me
to know that you drive me insane."

"How does it feel to hear my cries
to see the tears stream down my face
to know what you do is wrong
to put me in this painful place."

to a person you put in the grave"
