I held her in a warm embrace, now I am ice.
I stayed
too long, the emptiness fits me best.
We have
reached the point of no return, she is the foreign taste on my lips,
Her
scent is no longer calming; she smells like rage.
Her
touch drove me insane; I am glad I shut her down.
…
She is
like a virus, spreading through my veins,
She is
the poisonous thrill – then the cage she put me in.
Her moves brought me to my knees,
Deceived – I still survived,
Sick to
my stomach I stayed – afraid of what she could do
When I
refused to obey whatever she said.
My ego
bruised, my skin black-and-blue,
A mental
note of what I will never tolerate.
Like a
snake slithering through my guarded walls,
She found
a crack and nested there - in my paradise.
Like a parasite,
she rooted deep inside my senses.
Lost – I stayed, confused – I endured.
But in
the end, I remembered who I used to be.
…
Her
silence is the song I craved to hear,
Voice
muffled, paralyzed by what I have become.
And here
we are – the balance has shifted.
Like a
caged beast on display, I shoved her into the darkest corner of my zoo
Where I
collect every dirty soul I have claimed.
I am
vengeful – there is nothing left to lose.
I’ve
learnt the language she taught me –
Every
gaze, command and quiet threat is now a polished weapon.
She
became comfortable with how small she tried to keep me
Contained.
But she
never noticed the slightest shift,
I am the
product of her twisted ways.
Now she is
the one who flinches at every sudden move,
I hear her
breath stumble the way mine did.
The
metal crate I built from what she cherished most -
Weakness
and absence of the mind – this time they are hers.
Demise
suits her best – no more pleading, only breaking is what awaits her.
She
wanted someone who would never leave – stolen will,
Someone
who would always stay – no matter how hard it gets.
And I
passed all her tests – here I stand
But now
I am on the other side of the metal frame.
I am the
mirror she refused to face,
Now a
carbon copy of her deranged mind – the Beast is out
And the Beast
is me.
