Only Human

The insidious laughter,
eating away at my soul,
leaving me dead,
leaving nothing but a hole.

They prey upon me,
as though i were already dead,
they kill me day by day,
with their words like bullets through my head.

Their lies,
poisoning those around,
and with their will,
they drive people into the ground.

They laugh,
and walk away,
while they leave you,
with the price to pay,

They find some new torture,
and look for some new men,
but you can't blame them,
they are only human.
