My Vision is Clear

My tears fall,
like rain from the heavens,
and you're the God
that put them in my eyes.

Time after time
and try after try,
the results are always
the same with you.

Hands that carassed my face
now slap it soundly.
Fingers that once touched me
are now fists.

I lay on the ground,
that was once hallowed
and realize how you're like it now,
hard, frozen, cold.

My eyes are swollen,
but my vision clear.
Survival of the fittest?
Only the strong survive.

Why have I allowed myself
the weakness of loving you?
Oh, you didn't mean it, did you?
Those words, those blows?

All of it because you "loved" me?
You only loved yourself
and the false sense of power
that surged through you veins.

Now, though, now, baby,
My vision is clear.
I see you and my demons
for what they are.

If I let this false prophet
keep feeding my head,
I will slowly dissolve
and fade to nothing.

But though my lips bleed
from your last kiss,
and my eyes are bloodshot,
my vision is clear.

And I can see through you.
