Suddenly, you've lost all of your power
Over me.
I no longer need to cower
From your pain
And misery.
I wish I could reclaim
All of those hours given to thee.
I would pour into myself,
Become a savior for me.
-
Did it make you feel much better
Just to keep me in your cage?
I couldn't grow
In any weather
Mentally, I couldn't age.
So full of rage...
But never happiness.
I danced across your stage
Chasing nothing
Always nothing
Seems I might've missed a page.
-
How dare you
Call me your "knight",
When you never cared for my service?
Kept me chained
In rain and pain
So lost for you,
Perpetually nervous...
I was never knighted in your love,
Your bitterness caused purges.
All the imbalance you held onto
Kept both of us on verges.
-
You sat here and abused your power.
You knew that I would do anything.
Your years, and months, and weeks, days, and hours.
Just waiting on the change.
-
I thought that you were different
And you played the part...
You destroyed all of my pillars,
Left me in the dark...
And I swear, I didn't know...
Thought I could love away your pain.
But you never could let go.
His love was rotting in your brain...
But I loved you.
I needed you...
You admitted you used me
So I clocked out...
I couldn't give you everything,
And you knew.
-
Suddenly, you've lost that power.
I no longer cower from your pain.
I wish I could reclaim all of those hours.
I would pour into myself.
