My mind was set to sail,
But you came along and drowned it.
My thoughts fought for their reign,
But you sought a spear and found it,
And you plunged it deep in my flesh.

My soul burned to be free,
But you earthed me and quenched it.
My will was earning wings,
But you disagreed and wrenched it,
From the skies that mended my hurt.

My faith knocked down my walls,
But you raised them and restrained it.
My past was turning blank,
But you snatched your quill and stained it,
With black grief that haunts you tonight.

I hungered for your fall,
But you mocked me and postponed it.
My ghost could take no more,
But you played your game and owned it,
For you have always been me.
