This Is Why
i live with my enemy she revels in my sadness
she smiles when i am in pain
and cries when i am washed with relief
i am what she wishes and i wish what she wants
she is my demon, my unhappiness is her smile
i feel when she wants my life
the ones that love me feel her wrath
as she tightens their throats with my words
and wets their eyes with my hands
i am caged in my own reflection
unashamed she waves as if she is welcome
i cringe from your hands because of the claws she hides with mine
i cover my heart from you for the fear you will love her as well
she has no mercy
