Emotion

Feel it in you
Take a trip
Letting it control

Things they said
Tear you apart
They know what to say.

Face down in despair
Depressed and lost
Take it out on yourself

The hurt you feel
Pain concealed
Tears reveal.

Words crafted to kill
Feel them eat away
Venomous bite devours.

"Saying what should never be said, she lays you down. Cry not, I'll be there for you."

Been spending all of my time

Been spending all of my time away from the house, working on my tan, hanging out with my woman, just living it up while I can, I only have one more summer left.
