Barbs digging in
Deeper than skin
Ripping up your heart
and I am powerless to help you

These little knives
are ruining lives
and yet you stay
Why not run away?

The fence is not so high
as you might believe
The place you feel comfortable
is a pent up routine

Your forceful pride
gives away the pain inside
Though you try to hide from me
I see the tears you have not cried

Your words are distant and few
Your eyes dart away so well
All I did was to offer freedom to you
and an escape from your secret hell
