Incubus ways

I will not succumb to your song

Your enticing melody that calls me to you

I will not lean into your words

Your words that force me to believe in everything you say

I will not choose to believe your tall tails

Your lies about what you are and how it will be

I will decide to protect my peace instead

I will savor the warmness and comfort of being me

I am dragged down the rock embedded road

Tearing and ripping at my skin as you slide me wherever you go

It cuts me up and shows all my flaws through the cracks

Everything is so wide open making me feel that everyone can see

You are not there to pick me up but to laugh your way through my pain

You stomp on me until you know I am a shell of a person that will succumb to you

You gave me an inch of you to only snake back a foot

Saying you will be there and then leaving completely and refusing to call

You showed me love to only turn it into a blue hate

You said I love you and when I say it back you ran

You slowly made me realize that you being a good person only went so far

It was all just a show for your job but not really who you were

You found a way to find more flaws so you can find another reason to walk away

You tried everything to blame it all on me when you were the cause

A burning pain that only you can subside but instead you stir the flames higher

Not caring that each flint was burning into me and burning away who I was

It eats away the woman I chose to be

The good person and the happy person inside

It eats away the person of light

It eats away ME

You eat away at me as I succumb to your Incubus ways

You don't even acknowledge that I am in pain from what you find normal ways

I'm the shell of a human I once was but will choose to go past it
