Become
Empty parts of an unequal whole
you took and took
And when I denied, you stole
Gave that glaring look
when my body shook
Grievance was paid to you
to be believed as untrue
See if the disease begins to show
Threw everything away
For something you didn't want to know
gifts you took for granted, day to day
No work and all play
Every hour, you lose touch
Giving up too little, leaving out too much
When fears become the unseen and true
when hope remains less than clear
When lies aren't seen through
when you're anywhere but here
I cannot see past the fear
the things that chew me up and spit me out
Forgetting the morals I was all about
Break everything, every limb
left bare and broken
Every aspiration grows dim
and my words become unspoken
A worthless treasure, a tarnished token
I begin to kill myself a little more
Because I own what I never wanted before
I hold possession to your soul
Your every thought
Words restrained because I have control
Every material object bought
Every piece of flesh tied and taught
I now own you and your pride
So take your honor in stride
