Poison of Me

I want you to be as miserable as I was

Just as you once confessed to me you wanted me to join you in your misery

I've become no better than you

It turns out I couldn't survive the poison of you

I want you to bleed and to hurt and to fracture your soul

I want someone to leave you feeling like you'll never be whole

I want you to wake all alone in the night

Heart aching and empty, nothing more than a cheated on wife

I want your days to fill with misery and doubt

I want you to look to a future of all that you'll have to live without

I want to know that you'll never be free

I want to know that you couldn't survive the poison of me

And so I come to find your claws still sunk into me

Even with you gone there is no end to your treachery

But I too come to find that by giving you a home in my thoughts

That I'm just as at fault for my own tortured heart
