I have an illusion of you
Crafted it
Manicured it
Schemed it

Those beautiful mirages
All of them derived
From the manifestation of you
And it's because I love it
A cruel selfish being that I am
I intend on keeping in that way

Hence,
Refraining you from your own creativity
To paint me a picture of your truest self
Just because I am orchestrator

And just like that
I became the villain
An abuser

All because
I have prevented the real you from happening
As I wanted to keep the version of you that I preferred

An illusion
Which restricted the real you
that was possible
As I contained you vainly
Never once feeling guilty
Only satisfaction

Cause I have now become a puppeteer
And you my puppet

Forgive me, oh dearest
You'll be caged
For as long as you are with me

And love like this
Will only reward the villain
As the hero dies alive

Hence,
You should leave
While you have the chance.

And I shall keep being in love
With the illusion of you
That I have built
Always & Forevermore
