I used to be able to look in the mirror

And see oceans of joy in my eyes

Happy alone,

Free as a bird,

But one who fought so hard to fly

But then you came along,

Showed me your ways

You sang me your song,

Put me in a daze

For you I was willing to fight

A soul full of wisdom,

Harmony,

And Love

You said you were Awakened,

And all of the above

I chose to believe you,

Although I could see through

Your miserable charade -

Your story of lies

But I being naive

Was temporarily deceived

When I fell in love

With the innocent belief

That you really love me too

So now I am the monster living in your walls,

Biting at your soul with my "unforgivable" flaws.

I could never leave you alone, you see,

Not when you cast your inner demons onto me.

You threw out the songbird who started to sing,

but she fell too hard,

and she broke her wings.

She stayed on the ground

She wanted to die,

But you only wanted a bird who could fly,

So you left her broken

in the dirt,

Blaming only her for getting hurt.

The monster in you

Killed the Spirit in me

I loved you

But thank you

for choosing to leave.
