I wonder what it cost you
When you walked away
Did the universe weep like I did
Hoping one day that you’d stay
Did she scoff at your rejection
Did she take it as a grave sin?
Did she wail for me with grief
Knowing what would come again
I was sent with a mission
To mend the pain in you
But all you did was transfer it
To make it my pain too
I stayed as long as I could
I ripped the skin from my bones
Stitched the pieces together
And tried to patch the holes
The universe became angry
Seeing what I’d become
Learning of your betrayal
Witness to the damage that you'd done
Fire engulfed the earth.
Acid rained from the skies
She wanted righteous justice
For every tear she watched me cry.
She took your peace.
She took your health too.
She took all of the things you loved
She took everything of value.
She wanted you to see
The destruction you live to create
To feel the consequences
Of the choice that you make
But again you failed.
You’ve always had a wandering eye
It never mattered what you had
It wouldn’t be enough to satisfy
So instead of finally teaching
you how to actually hold
She carried my remaining shards
And turned me into gold.
She told me it was my turn
to choose who deserves my love
She begged that I choose wisely
Not to repeat what happened above.
She opened up the cage
I stretched my metallic wings
I flew as fast as I could
Into a brand new beginning
