Her Bruises

From everything to nothing.
I watched the pages burn.
i knew the lifeline had been wearing thin.
I moved on.
I found my place.
As I grew up,
You grew worse.
You lost control.
But I'd let go.
You act as if you are so hurt.
But when you do the hurting you only get to regret.
You never stop.
I know what you've done.
You gave pain to others, too.
You took her heart and threw it into a wall.
When she called in tears about this great fall,
I knew no redemption could be had
Stop with your prying,
I found my place.
I moved on.
I knew the lifeline has been wearing thin.
But my new love has already started to begin.
Far away,
Safe and sound
I know you can't hurt me when I'm so far off the ground.
I'm elated, so high,
He will catch me when I fall,
No hearts to be thrown against the wall.
I've heard of her bruises,
She asked me why,
I told her of a world of change.
Now we both know the monster you hide,
Your threats have faded, her bruises too will heal.
I just wish I had known that monster wouldn't just stop after me.
But I found my place.
I moved on.
She will too.
Far away and safe and sound.
I knew the lifeline had been wearing thin,
But you can't hurt me
My new love has already started to begin.
