Venom


You're one of those people I decidedly hate

And most assuredly  cannot stand

You sure as hell don't think straight

Because you're your own one-man band


There's nothing wrong with people standing alone

God knows I've been going solo most of my life

I might still be naive, but I've definitely grown

Indifference still stabs me like a knife


My problem I think is that I'm a little too nice

I never really choose the right friends

And time and time and again I pay the price

Its a recurring pattern that never ends.


Was I wrong to trust you and tell you my secrets?

Yes. Its a fact proven right.

It always will be my biggest weakness

In that regard I'm not all that bright


Sweetheart, I might be trusting, that's just me

But I take sweet pleasure in knowing

That I'm a better person than you'll ever be

And emotionally I'm still growing


You on the other hand are the child over here

Manipulating the breath out of beauty, leaving no traces

I have just one thing to say to you, my dear

Keep your venom to yourself, and both your faces.
