"mistress"
Nurturing the parasite
Seems like such a bad choice in hindsight
But what could I do
When I was so in love with you
I wish I could take it back
But like a train run off the track
My life was derailed and empty
When you stopped pretending
It started as we would
And changed to we could
And it wasn’t too long
Before you changed the song
To a melody much more saddening
I pretended it was alright
You pretending you cared
When the truth came about
I was scared and scarred
With memories joyful and sad
Of what you took that we once had
