Told me I was your reason for breathing
I opened up and gave you my heart
But it was never enough, you left me bleeding
My mind and soul were your toys to tear apart
This devil I didn't know hid behind angel wings
And a friendly smile etched across a familiar face
Dragged me along to meet your friends
Memories of their barbed words still stings
Eviscerated my inner space
To you I was nothing, but a means to an end
Your silence spoke volumes
Complacent to their sanctimonious violence
And myopic views
How desperate you were to keep an audience
You bore your scars telling me how you were used
And apologized for their unprovoked cruelty
Convinced my hellbound heart was yours for plundering
Perpetrating this cycle of the accused being abused
A failed actress, just another wannabe
A cenobite taking delight in my sweet suffering
You bled me dry, left me asking why
Lament configuring behind my darkening eyes
Why couldn't you let this die?
Instead of adding me to your legion of demonized
