Getting Rid of You

You distract me from where I want to be You destroy my life as well as those around me You deceive my family, putting false promises in their way You demolish my friends, watching their lives crumble away I am determined to get rid of you I am desiring to kick you out of my house To say goodbye to you forever is my dream To wash away the misery you've caused is my fantasy So watch your back and stay on your guard Because I will not rest until you are lying down. cold, lifeless, dead.
