being with you is taxing

you **** the energy from my veins

you cannot make me happy

but it's better than being alone


it's pitiful isn't it?

to be so lonely

I'd rather be with you

who makes me so miserable


but that's what loneliness does:

corrupts a previously whole person

decaying one's mind and physicality

until they do not recognize themselves


I was so lonely

I took the first chance of company

it came in the form of sin

as the Devil's cruel laugh rings in my ears
