Diminish Me

They can’t hear me now
My screams dig inward to the core
And my voice betrays my reason
I can’t listen anymore
To the words I once believed in
I have nothing more to say
They’ve been silenced to whispers
And hung with threads of shame
If you came here to save me
You walked in too slow
There is nothing left but burnt remains
Of what I was two years ago
To reconcile my damaged mind
Would take more than you have to give
There’s nothing left but ruined dreams that
Diminish all I am
They can’t hear me now
My screams resound throughout my world
And my words betray my reason
I can’t listen anymore
For the lies I once believed in
I have nothing but contempt
They tore apart my life and left me
Lying here alone
You can’t hear me
When I needed you, you walked away
You diminished me with every word you said
You can’t hear me
I’m no longer here for you
You diminished me everytime you let me down
