Mind Poison

Keep your lies away from my lips
You contaminate them with violent thoughts
Things you thought that I could be
For you,
Until I was none of them anymore

You twisted and used me; abused me.
Like a marionette on strings
You tried to make me dance your endless story.
You used me like a vessel for your hate and ambition
You exploited me for your own gains
And molested my mind
Poisoned it with thick black ink.
Like an octopus who attacks to blind his victims
Life became a thick bloody mess of inky darkness.

You invaded my mind while I slumbered
Moving in and out of consciousness,
You pulled me back and forth
Between this realm and the next
Until it was all unrecognizable.
Everything swirling together in a vicious tailspin
Like cut strings on a harp curl up and spin
Circling towards the centre of the void
Cutting everything in their path with tiny whip-like tails.
Descending into an eternity that I did not want
That I never should have been a part of

Keep your sickness away from me.
I don't want your false ideals
They contaminate me
They pollute my thoughts
Taint my lips with hate.
This does not belong to me
None of this was mine,
But all of it became me
Through your poison.

But now, in this new place,
This new beginning
No longer can you reach me
My mind belongs to me
And you no longer exist.
