Frankenstein

by caduceus

You wanted to pretend I'm a monster You wanted a reason to leave You found it and you'll be the only one I would ever dare love, knowing now How it feels to lose the only one I have ever felt connect with my soul But I knew you - good and bad And loved you for every facet of each At the end, when you decided who I was You told yourself the things you Clearly needed to hear, to leave I would never fault you for going But this is a one way street out, doctor Losing you once nearly destroyed me Losing you a second time is something I realize I could never recover from You didn't want to stick it through Thick and thin, nor love me as I am So, please don't ask how I'm doing now Don't pretend any part of you still cares Because I'll hold on to what we had forever But I know now, I'm not anything to you I don't regret what happened Because you helped create who I am today I'm grateful for every minute we had Even though I'm still picking up the pieces Of myself that you've left scattered -- I'll never forget awakening in your lab Feeling alive for the first time Realizing I have a heart beat after all Now I'm left to wander the town You, the good doctor, have gotten Everything you wanted from me I'm your creation, the evil, the ugly I'm whatever you wanted me to be But it was only ever you that gave me life
