The girl is crying
I didn't want to make her cry
But I did what I had to
They watched through the ghost window
Monitoring
Making sure I was doing my job right
No unnecessary touching
No affection
No mercy
I lean over her quick
Brush the tears away with a thumb and whisper
I'm sorry
Instantly they rush in
Drag me away
Beat me like a fucking dog until my skin is black and blue
Throw me back into the Grove
They let me heal for a day
But they have no time to waste
I'm the best they have
Not a title I'm proud of
Every day for hours I lose myself
Preserve whatever sanity I have left
Go away to some other place
Somewhere I can find peace
