who am I?

Do I dare ask?

Can I handle the truth?

No...

You're stupid,

Too naïve...

Unworthy,

Sunken...

But I have a right to know!

Why should I keep lying to myself?

Stop it!

You know better than that...

Shut up!

You can't handle the truth...

Yes I can...

No you can't!

Go back to sleep...

Keep dreaming of what you'll never have...

I'll be here,

To comfort you with my danger.

To stalk you with my affection...

I love you!

Don't leave!

I need you!

I'll stay,

If you tell me...

I can't!

Don't you see?

If I tell you,

You'll leave me for sure...

No I won't!

Yes you will!

I need you weak,

Drained of your esteem,

Deprived of your happiness...

Replaced with sorrow,

And fear...

You can't leave...

I won't let you.

You're too vulnerable,

Embarrassed by the world.

You won't survive without me,

My empty love.

My fiery lust keeps you from

Betraying me...

You can't betray me.

I'm far too powerful to give

You any freedom...

Sleep,

And I'll get you through another

Day.

Sleep, my love.

Get lost in the movies

In your fragile mind.

I love you.
