You Kill Me With Kindness
you kill me with kindness
you feed me words~~~
such sweet delicacies
crafted with care
sugar coated flair
you want to spare
me from bitterness
you kill me with kindness
terms of endearment
no longer true
take on a different hue
what once was my due
now leaves me blue
but you haven't got a clue
so, you kill me with kindness
perpetrator of pretense
you think it makes sense
I'm not amnesia afflicted
in false familiarity, gifted
free of blame, you're uplifted
you kill me with kindness
you think....it's Ok
let bygones be gone
it's a new day
and....yet again...
you kill with kindness
when once
you brought me life
with
your
love
