Hard like a rock
Round like a globe
Blood filled
Like you think you’re nurturing something
Invaded my world
Just like a parasite
Made of my tissue
Blood filled
Like you think you are part of me
Devoured my energy
You act like a baby
Make my body your home
Took over my life
Like you think you’re in charge
Took my dreams
Hard like my heart
Empty of life
Blood filled
Like you think you can fool me
Into giving in
A whole world of pain
Uncharted terrain
Deeper than deepest reserves
You think you can beat me
Into submission
I had you cut out
I damaged myself
Blood loss
Because you were part of me
Reluctant to go
I needed to live
No answers
No revelations
I had to do something
But I’m sorry I did
Hard like a rock
Round like a globe
Blood filled
Like you think you are nourishing something
You took of me
