Reflection of You
by Trisha Hanudel


. Run, boy, run
. You're not gonna get away
. Revenge is a cold hard bitch
. And you've gotta pay


. What you've done
. The things you've said
. Distant memories to you
. But have left me dead


. It's not enough that you've stopped
. It's not enough that the air has cleared
. You deserve what you're gonna get
. You deserve this kind of fear


. I've got rusty knives wild bloodshot eyes
. And nothing left in my soul
. The abuse cycle is complete
. Years of pent-up rage and fear now take their toll


. Look into my eyes at that crucial moment
. Before you fade into nothing, look through
. Don't be afraid if what you see
. Is just a reflection of you
