Never Forgive - Assemblage 23

It never felt so real

Never so visceral

But now it’s all too clear

And all too typical

You’re left with nothing

And it’s all your fault

Relations cease

And emotions halt

Did you think the things you said

Wouldn’t get back to me?

That I’d fall and disperse

Beneath you misery

I won’t waste my time

You can suffer alone

Crying your shrill litany

In endless drones

Rain down

Tears of regret

You haven’t seen the worst of it yet

Your name

A foul epithet

Never forgive… never forget

I offered you something

You can never regain

But now all I can offer you

is total disdain

And this is how you pay me back

for all those times

I listened to you

and forgave all your crimes

If lies about me

Are the best you can do

I guess I must’ve

Overestimated you

Paint cruelty on me

But its all the same

No one believes someone

In your mindframe

Rain down

Tears of regret

You haven’t seen the worst of it yet

Your name

A foul epithet

Never forgive… never forget

The light of day

Was never kind to you

But the darkness is worse

When the day is through

Time to reflect

On all your misdeeds

And sob your sorry self

To sleep

Rain down

Tears of regret

You haven’t seen the worst of it yet

Your name

A foul epithet

Never forgive… never forget
