Parting Gift
Tell me who you are
Tell me who you'll be without me
Tell me all your dreams
Do they echo your prophecy?
Show me what you are
Show me what you'll be without me
Show me all your fantasies
Do they falter in the face of reality?
Listen to my voice
It will fade into silence when I am gone
Listen to all my suspicions
Do they threaten your delusions?
Feel my embrace
It will be empty when I am gone
Feel all my doubts
How do they stand against your trust?
Take who I am
To become who you are
Take all my dreams
Turn them into your personality
Destroy who I am
Become what I was
Crush all my memories
Rearrange them into your identity
Tell me who you are
Tell me who you’ll be without me
What will remain when I am gone?
Nothing, unless you follow my instructions
Don’t trust your dreams
You cannot save me
Your delusional fantasy
Will be torn by reality
Take my dreams instead
Shatter and reshape them
Breathe in my soul
Until it becomes your own
Take all my dreams
Turn them into your personality
Take all that I am
To become who you are
Take my soul
That is your identity
Become what I once was
That is who you are
See, there is no need
To shed a single tear
For I will never leave
As long as you become me
