(no subject)

everything’s lapsed and has fallen apart
if only I could be me, and let you be you
ever since you took the sword from my heart
I suppose killing who I was was an unwise thing for you to do

I do not know how to behave
out of the scope of your example
you took the cradle and gave me the grave
and your dictum led fate to where we both ambled

why do the names you threw at my feet
entice me to lift them and wear them as mine
while you stole my traits, what made me complete
and move onto greener pastures you’d find

as much as I cared, what I got in return
did not match, not Below nor Above
of all our experiments what I most learned
is that only I was truly in love
