I administered the medicine that kills you
I am the death in your life
I came with the light that led you to the darkness
I am the wine that became your poison
I offered you the gift that causes your pain
I am your heart's sadness...
Tear me away
I worshipped you but the idol crumbles
I am the yearning in your soul
I gave you passion that turned to lust
I am the evil in your world
I showed you a path on which you lost your way
I am the thorn in your flesh...
Pluck me out.
I held your hand and you watch it wither
I am the aching in your mind
I kissed your lips and beheld them quiver
I am the demon in your nightmares
I taught you the desire that made you bleed
I am the dagger in your side...
Thrust me away.
I earned your trust but tried your patience
I am the serpent's venom
I fired the emotions that set alight the craving
I am the love that you have for no other
I became the thoughts that buried and hid in your depths
I am the bitter taste in your mouth...
Spit me out.
