Dichotomy

Again.

The dagger I let you use and use once more,

it has burned and broken and caused something to cease.

You seem so innocent, never thought I'd be more hurt than I was before...

You have no remorse, always begging me to stay, "I need you! Please!"

How do I let go?

How do you always know how to get me back?

You are part of me, and I you.

You have the face of a loved one, but I don't know you at all.

I promised I'd be there whenever you'd fall...

but it was all a game to you, jealousy and anger fuels your heart, and hurt has come to rest in mine.

You do it again and again and again,

Tell me, when will it end?

I know of you, but the person I see is not whom they used to be.

Kitten, please you've grown into a tiger and I am trapped.

Your eyes lure me in, your false sense of security is a blanket of lies,

I can never hate you, but I can't look at you...

Everyone I know will hurt me at a point.

Family.

Lovers.

Friends.

How much do I have to pay for you to understand I want out of your mind games...

But again, and again, and again you speak venom.

In truth I pity you.
