Binding

I am unforgiving after seven years of lies
Out of only obligation, do my words to you arise
Thinly-veiled threats that forced my hand
Do not think that we’ll ever be on good terms again
Since the lines have opened and you seek to say your peace
I bind your words from damage to my world – from your disease

Children are not pawns, to get your own way
Your projection is revealing in the things that you say
When boundaries are crossed to satiate your needs
Don’t be surprised when the angry wolf feeds
The façade was for you – the adults saw right through
Your games
Your lies
Your emotional abuse
Being “real” doesn’t excuse
Unbecoming behavior to rationalize your views

I pity those who see you as a woman to become -
Manipulating others for your afternoon fun
But words have ways of finding and binding
You’ll never outrun
Hoping one day we can undo the damage you’ve done
Little girl, you have no idea of whom you tried your hand
For I will not be blinded by your venomous little plan

If you ever think you’re welcome to cross my threshold door
My hearth and home are ice to you – you're welcome here no more
There will not be a moments peace
The walls will bid you leave
I withdraw any blessing
I call out your deceit
Because all you have is from your lips that cheat [twice]
And a heart of conceit
