Taking Back My Heart.

You engage me in battles, but I refuse to fight
Hurting myself badly, even if only out of spite
Avoiding the bait, whilst jumping for the hook
I’m taking back my life that you took

A pulsating bird, bursting out the cage
My heart flew out, and you threw it away
Poisoned teeth tearing into my flesh
A lifeless body, limp at best

Shallow hearts and dance beats
I’m heading out to these city streets
Searching for something, but who knows what
I’ve already become, something I’m not

Sliding over tongues, tripping over words
You & me and you & her, it’s become a war of thirds
I’m a commander out on a mission
I’d take my life, with your permission

... sorry if it sucks

I really really like this. Really like it.
I think it has a great depth to it and it flows really well without sounding forced.
I also like the fact that it, in a sense, documents the rebirth of the girl.
Well done. I assure you it doesn't suck
