I writhe in pain as I wonder who you are --

A succulent seizure amasses me...

&& I fall deeper into your arms.

Surrendering into your embrace --

My grace overcame me...

&& I fall within your embrace.

My mind races with your past promise --

How you said you'd never do it again...

&& yet, you had done it again.

I cry in confusion in your circle --

Who am I to you?...

&& why do you treat me this way?

Seeing how I gave my all --

Every day I lived was always about you...

&& I saw you being there on my last days!

You still fantasized about things

that had nothing to do about

your love for me --

But of your own

Selfish

Desires.
