What I've Become
I lay alone at night and think of how it used to be.
Before you I was never truely lonely.
Then suddenly it was me and you, you and me.
I just wish that I could wipe you from my memory.
Now I think of you, your touch has an edge
Your kiss is the sweetest poison.
You've killed my heart with your venom
And I love you all the more, look what I've become.
I look now at the bed we used to share
And all the memories that still lay there.
Was there any truth to your words? Now I feel abandoned
As my heart blackened to coal, then hardened to diamond.
Yet I'm not done, I will go on
My heart now frozen in my breast.
Now I have no feeling, I fear not death.
Now I look at myself, What have I become?
