I fell in love with a vampire.
I let him suck the life out of me.
I let him take my dreams,
And crush them,
Till they weren't even glimmering embers.
I sat back and watched in horror,
And disbelief,
As my goals emerged as his own.
I let him break down my walls,
And I became submissive to his belittling dominance.
I just let him,
Trample on me,
Till I was just as small as a grain of sand.
I let him tell me my worth,
And what I would amount to.
I should have known,
He was afraid,
I would figure out...
I was worth more,
Than he had ever let on.
Now that I think back,
I become ashamed.
Why hadn't I realized sooner,
I was more important than I had truly thought.
I let myself be used and mistreated.
I almost let him kill me,
With his double edged tongue.
His words whipped me,
Like the whip he had nailed to the wall.
He drained away my reasons to live,
And I didn't even fight back.
I question myself,
Was it cause I was weak?
Or was it cause I was afraid?
