We are no longer

You are not me, I am not you,
We're both on different paths, and there's nothing we can do.
We cannot remain, and cannot go on,
Our bond was a lie, and I am now strong.

The person you met was 100% real,
Not fake, not acted, shy and sweet,
That part is hidden, often sealed,
And yet I exposed it to a few I meet.

That's not fair, that you saw me then fled,
It's cruel and unkind how often I bled,
But that is life, and people you meet are all wrong,
Life is a radio, fate is the song.
..But fate can be wrong.

Thinking back after my shattered pieces are glued,
It was obvious who was the sociopath and who was pursued,
The reality is, you're a narcissist, with a silver spoon,
In your mouth, whoever you meet is doomed.

To lie of me isn't funny, it's not even fair,
You pretended to love me, but for no-one you care,
The centre of your world is you, one man,
How boring, how utterly bland.

I'm not a killer, I only protected my skin,
Bruises too many, then one more to tempt sin,
I regret it, I won't lie, but you pushed me to my limit,
It's not very nice to live in agony now, is it?

The character you were I loved to the grave,
Kind, sweet, selfless, brave,
But the inner beast I hated, that one I fought,
So in the end it was a waste, an empty love of nought.

You're sick and twisted for the things you did once walls were enclosed,
It was unkind and strange how you always had to impose,
I couldn't go anywhere, could not eat, could not even shower,
Without you there, part of your power.

I want you to know, that I am doing far better,
Smiles are real again, now our ties are severed,
I'll miss you, I won't lie, but not you, the person I thought I had,
I don't miss the abusive man in the facade of comrad.

Life is good, I'm not lonely, and I'm alive,
I live everyday without agony inside,
It's nice not to have to hide my skin in fear people will stare,
It's amazing to wake with pain no longer there

You are not me, I am not you,
We're both on different paths, and there's nothing we can do.
We cannot remain, and cannot go on,
Our bond was a lie, and I am now strong.
