Four and a half years after you came into my life you are gone from it
One year of silent staring
Seven months of friendship
One year and four some odd months of dating
And the rest in between,
Well...
The rest is our ending and our new beginning

I let your fangs sink into my soul
Injecting a venom not easily removed
Between the Angel in you and the Devil you hid in me
I was lost and thought I had been found
Instead, I had found who you had wanted me to be

Somewhere between love and obsession we had something
Whether I was trying to please you
Or whether you were ignoring me I, allowed myself to believe that you cared
That you loved me
All the while your poison sinking deeper

It's my fault for not seeing the beast beyond the boy
Because let's be honest
I thought I had seen the boy beyond the beast
Yet as your claws strike me
My heart ripped to shreds

Broken
Alone
Unsheltered
I allowed you to continue on the Beastly path you chose

I had been blinded by what I had called love
I could not see what was becoming of me
Just like Eve I had been deceived by my own Snake

I had been cheated and broken
Nothing left except a shell

They say a star is formed by the collapse of a Nebula
I collapsed
Through loss of self worth I grew
My soul reformed
My spirit fought back
I found a real and honest love

I am my own star
