Fatigue

Words are exchanged, time and time again.
Love never seems more than feigned;
Life is torture in a beautiful way...
We deserve so much more than we've portrayed.
A thirst within me that won't be quenched,
A godly feeling I can't pretend,
Gone again, with the day's end
When a sweet good night is all that's said...
You render me untouchable (in more ways than one),
Fearless, hopeless, and even scorned.
And when you say I deserve so much more...
You cut me again, to steal my heart's warmth.
Five words couldn't hurt any more.
Poison-tipped, they freeze my very soul.
For when you speak them, I know.
There's a veil over your eyes as black as coal.

These words will be a meaningless lyric.
