victims

i knew this was going to hurt
the pain i was ready to handle
just not the length it would be here
you'll never know all the words i use
to describe you and us
you're too afraid to face me
an attempt to make yourself the victim
and everyone feels sorry for you
no one will ever hear your name again
not from these lips you've kissed
this is my attempt to keep myself
from becoming your victim
people will know that i'd been in love
once before in my life
and that i've learned my lesson
but they'll never know it was you
the unknown legend in my life
now the forgotten love i'll keep
forever hidden inside me
but never again behind my screams
no more sleepless nights chasing you
from my deepest thoughts to my dreams
