In My Place

By ColorMeToxic

I understand the scars will always be there.
You tell me, overtime they will fade.
What do I do when overtime, I don't have scars...
but fresh bleeding wounds of hate?

I want to tell you to go to hell
I want you off my case
I want to make you  feel as I have felt
So you can stand here in my place. 

Shivering, cold, all by yourself
I'll leave you, to your new-found fate
Crying tears of anger, can't help you now...
For now, you understand  my hate

So I tell you to go to hell
I say to get off my case
I've made you feel as I have felt...
How did you like standing there...
In my place?

    Beautifully written, no one knows what its like to climb out of a dark place until they themselves make that climb.
