The Other Half

The one that got away,
the one that slipped through your fingers,
the one you let go
when you couldn't control your anger.

The one you swore to love,
the one you loved to keep,
the bittnerness in your heart
made the devil look sweet.

She was the one to take your abuse.
Her loyalty was deadly.
There was a load of stupidity in her truth.
Her eyes were blind
to sights that weren't you.

Naive, too involved, and broken
you had to have known she was hurting when she first let you in.

Tell me her pain only excited you more.
She was battered then murdered all to be yours.

I'm glad she's gone cause I'm here
to even up the score.
Pretty baby, she won't hurt anymore.

As I approach your door,
I touch the last scar you put on her heart.
I'm fighting tears as I smile
and kick the door down.
There's no sound in the house,
as I walk up behind you.

It's time to punish you
for killing the other half of me.
I've gotta show you
the monster you created in me.

You've gotta suffer
for killing the other half of me.
I'll show you a monster
when you pounce, trying to shatter me.

You've already shattered the better half of me.
