Man don't cry

Cry baby, cry baby
I'm a cry baby on the run
my shrills struck her hard
but she killed the baby in me with a gun

Rubbish, rubbish
everything in me is rubbish, she said
my words knocked on her heart
but she cut my heart with a steely blade

Dead, dead
I'm a dead on the prowl
instead of resurrecting the dead in me
she spite venom on my soul

Mirror, mirror
you are a mirror, she had told
then accusing me of self pity
she fled, leaving me in the cold

Amazing. I am going to run out of words to describe the opening stanzas.

Seems likes there has been a certain someone who has got in touch with a very sensitive person. The possessiveness and feeble mind of the sensitive person has become a constant irritant to the stronger individual, and she had to leave the sensitive high and dry. Sounds crazy? This is what I felt.
