Still Carries A Sting
Smug suggestion fueled a raging fire
In case there was a shadow of doubt
Spirts make it harder to walk this wire
A subtle whisper swelling into a shout
Never was I treated like an equal partner
Killing myself slowly to create an illusion
You’re always choosing to play the martyr
Clinging onto this weary web of confusion
Random outbursts crowd a desolate room
Distorted rhetoric lingers inside bitter walls
Every conversation was clouded with doom
Counterproductive until all momentum stalls
Heard you finally decided to perform again
I’m forever living in certain words you sing
Deep down a part of me can’t help but grin
Wondering if saying them still carries a sting
In case there was a shadow of doubt
Spirts make it harder to walk this wire
A subtle whisper swelling into a shout
Never was I treated like an equal partner
Killing myself slowly to create an illusion
You’re always choosing to play the martyr
Clinging onto this weary web of confusion
Random outbursts crowd a desolate room
Distorted rhetoric lingers inside bitter walls
Every conversation was clouded with doom
Counterproductive until all momentum stalls
Heard you finally decided to perform again
I’m forever living in certain words you sing
Deep down a part of me can’t help but grin
Wondering if saying them still carries a sting

Author's Note
Late night musing. Somethings just stick with you. Even when you think you've made peace with a situation sometimes there is still some leftover venom deep down. It's best to get it out I say's. My old songwriting buddy seems to have started performing music again. I wrote some of the lyrics on a few of those songs. So naturally I write about him having to sing those words. Appreciate you.

So so true Damian, I think it's just human nature, when we think our minds are clear and free, there is still something at the back ❤️

Ouch, that must sting. Sometimes old wounds start to bleed again, when the past comes back.
Brilliant piece, Damian, felt this one.

This is something I can totally relate too. Time passes, you think everything is patched up with that person and BAM!, there's still something that is eating away at you deep down inside. Powerful piece of writing.

That's one of the ways we immortalize ourselves...our writing. Kinda ironic that your voice will be coming from their mouth. Much appreciated
