bewildered

your angry words they sting me, they tear into my ears
venom dripping off your once sweet lips as all reason disappears
your eyes are shooting daggers, your face contorted shades of red
i'm standing there bewildered as i try to process what you've said
your muscles taut for violence as you move in to take your prey
i just shake my head, that's it, i'm done as i turn and walk away
