Before I met you, I once felt whole

But your sickness enveloped me, and my truth slowly changed

You sought to poison me with your ideals instead, Every fiber of my being screamed at me

But your disease charmed my emotions, so my life soon mirrored your whims

You suckled the life from my veins, From every endeavor I wanted

Where there once was a solid persona, I had become a transparent lackey

Now that you are gone, I am left to chip away at this mask

Every day a piece of you tumbles from me, and I have learned to crush it under my heel and laugh

I'm slowly remembering the girl I was, before I met you
