secrets from the lair

The Archer

am i the one who's insane, or are you?

expecting me to excel while making me feel like a failure

i don't know how you do it

but i've certainly had enough

i fail to understand you,

your kindness and your contempt,

and how you manage to switch personalities

in under two seconds

you're so nice, but you're so terrible

the bad outweighs

the good by a million

now take a look at the wreck you made me, the mess you made me

why don't you see how you fucked me up completely?

i kicked and i screamed to no avail

silently pleading for a help that never came

to save me from being engulfed by an ocean

of pain and emotion

i eventually tired out and let it all fade away

that is when you lent me your hand,

but got mad when i didn't take it

but how could i now?

i was at the bottom of the abyss,

while your hand still only stirred the surface

emptiness gnaws my insides

as i sense your resentment towards me

for now i am not who i used to be

but she had to evanesce

in order for me to flourish

because even though i miss her

this is the person i always longed to be

so even though you may not love me anymore,

i do, i love me

and honestly, that's enough.
