Trauma, old and new

Lit the flames anew
Licked at your conscience
Visioned delusions
Of right and wrong
You sang a cruel song
Nothing except for the strong
This wasn't like you
So I had to
Drown you in the River Lethe
Watch its currents make you sink
Breathe air through new lungs, new soul, new heart-beat
You didn't deserve this
You couldn't stop this
I'm doing what's right for you
Now don't go please
