Does it matter?
Am I of value to you now?
You broke every promise.
You brought me down.
You chained me with false hope.

Do you care?
Do you think I do?
I do not care.
I will make you miserable.
I will keep my promises.

Do you remember?
Did you think I would forget?
You trapped me.
I was held captive by fear.
You stood there and did nothing.

Weren’t you afraid?
Did you know I was?
The paper haunted me.
It always attacked my dreams.
Its mission was to ruin me.

The task was accomplished.
I hear them speak to me.
I have no control over my body.
I must do what it says.
I am forced to squeeze the life from you.
