                        Old things familiar and worn
                        lay strewn about the floor
                        broken and torn
                        like the strings in my heart
                        that you tore asunder
                        by your words and your deeds
                        driven by your greed
                        your lust for more than was your right
                        cost others to pay
                        you wreaked havoc
                        on those who called you friend
                        you lied and you cheated
                        you stole and decieved
                        yet you spoke pretty words
                        to cover those deeds
                        when caught you continued to spill faithless words
                        which fell on deaf ears
                        you vowed revenge
                        acts of destruction
                        Some you completed some remain to be seen
                        I sit and I wonder
                        what drives your soul
                        what lives within you that makes you so cold
                        how could you damage the ones you once called family
                        does love and kindness really mean nothing to you
                        are you really that shallow through and through
                        I sit and I look
                        at the changes you wrought
                        the hearts you stepped on
                        slowly I stand
                        and take my place
                        you have not won what you wanted
                        but I hope your scars run deep
                        I hope tears burning hot haunt your sleep
                        As I work to heal the damage you wrought
