May the powers that be bind you,
Praying, begging for release is all you can do,
You spit in my face when you turned my love away,
Don’t think I’ll just forget, In the end you will pay,
No one takes my heart then returns it empty,
May the links of your sins form a chain, from which you can never break free,
It is so easy for you to turn your back,
When every moment my emotions are under attack,
Remember this: There is no pain I cannot take,
There is no love I cannot turn to hate,
Do not forget the blackness that lies at my core,
When I say vengeance is mine you’ll be pleading ”No more!”
You have lost all that was and all that could have been,
To return to a life of emptiness, poverty, and guiltless sin,
Someday you will hear my laughter deep down in your soul,
I have continued on, I will succeed, I am the pleasure you will never know,
My curse to you is to merely have an existence,
To be that ‘wallflower’ that never got to enjoy the dance.
