You broke me so you
wouldn't have to suffocate.
You tore me apart so you
could remain in one piece.
You stole my compassion so
you could be kind.
You were nothing short of a monster,
nothing short of a being
who fed off of sorrow my
and depression.
You fed such incorrigible
desires with your actions,
and I didn't see it.
I was far too engraved
in the very transgressions of my
illusions; the offense
of your brilliantly covert mind.
So manipulative you were,
yet I was so willing to listen to
your words, to anything
around me that involved you,
but you were a
monster.
Nothing less.
Nothing more
You dug your claws into my flesh;
you pierced your teeth into the warm fabric,
lapping away at the life force I had.
You did what monsters did.
You broke me.
You stole what you could from me.
You made me weak.
You made me small.
You kept me around for your own
persuasions and manipulations.
I was your means to an end,
just as any monster's victim is.
You chose me.
I let you in.
I kept you closest to me, revealing
that of my darkest secrets and
fears,
but you used that against me.
Such intimate details were wasted
on a monster, and they only fed
Into your rough agenda.
Fear, pain, and anguish
that's what you
craved, and that's what you
received from me.
A monster you are.
A monster you will always be.
Nothing less.
Nothing more.
