She was poisoned by a bittersweet taste

It caused her person to be displaced

It’s like she doesn’t know right from wrong

Fueling her own feelings that she doesn’t belong

It takes over her mind, her body, and her life

But yet she doesn’t try to stop the knife

Instead, she gives into the evil pleasure

Costing her everything that she treasures

She says she’ll change, that things will be different

Then give it a week and she’s being belligerent

We know this is not who she truly is

But we pull away from her toxic wiz

We keep silent in hope that it will fix itself

But soon we’ll learn she can't do it herself

Though claiming change she denies the offers

And lets herself drown in the poison waters

Now she hurts others in her denial

Causing problems throughout her own trial

She pleads innocent and claims to have not known  

But she screams and accuses over the phone

Now she blames others for her actions

Trying to find some satisfaction

But those who are close are done with her s***

And sit there and wonder if this is permanent

Suddenly we’re all angry at each other

Waiting for an apology from one another

Though one side is right and one is wrong

I’m tired of everyone trying to be “strong”

Look in the mirror, realize your faults

And stop it with the meaningless assaults

Now we lie at a dreadful crossroad

Hoping she will lift the load

There’s only so much one can do

Before we leave it up to you

I hope that you are going to be fine

But I cannot keep walking the thinning line

Where is the change? What will you do?

When there's no one left to turn to

I don't want that to happen, I want to help

But I won’t poison the life I’ve been dealt
