You've hit the final blow.
And now I'm down.

You've hit it just like you hit all the others.
Through your disguise.
Your fake compliments.
The smiles. The reassuring words you never meant.
All these touches you gave.
The look in  your eyes.

Your disguise.

And I've been seeing through it for a while.
And I've let you get off with it because I thought that maybe somewhere there in the middle you'd find mercy.
But you didn't.

Now you've hit the final blow and knocked me down.
And you'll most likely make sure things stay this way.
