I wondered why you always stayed
Tell me love - why have you not swayed,
away from me and my dark deception?
because everyone left.
There's no one here,
like you,
they saw my true reflection.

But you my love, you stuck to my side.
Your love for me, you said would never subside.
Even when I shut you out & darkened your soul.
Threw away your dreams, buried them in a hole.

My demons attacked you & tore you apart,
but still you stayed with your strong beating heart.
You refused to go, even when I traded in honesty.
I fell back into your arms and you caught me so modestly.

You're here,
you always are, even when I'm gone.
But sadly, dear sweetheart I see my demons have won.
They've consumed you, the good, and filled you with sadness
Wake up sweetheart, wake up, step out of my madness.
