A Girl Imagined

-For Adam-

A girl imagined, just an illusion, a figment in my mind
Yet you loved her far too much, all along you were so blind
I had you caught in my web, just like a spider with her prey
I painted your world and mine became dull and empty, a lonesome shade of grey
I trapped you in a cage and locked the door so tight
And then i came to realize that i was wrong and you were right

You weren't trapped at all, i was the one behind the bars
Crying, cutting, bleeding, my arms covered in scars
I thought that you were mine, when all along i was yours
Hiding in my room, staring at the screen behind locked doors
You became an obsession, a desire i had to attain
But always, you looked away, my errors all in vain

Your love was my prison, i was a captive, broken and bound
For so long i suffered silently, i never made a sound
Then the pain became too much, i couldn't stay quiet anymore
I tried to get away, but the chains held, and my spirit was so sore
You ripped my heart out and held it in your palm
A trophy, a sacrifice, yet i was so very calm

I cut away these ropes and ties, and i left your side
I wish i could have stayed but all along i had lied
I wasn't who i said i was, i wasn't the girl you thought you knew
I'm sorry that i hurt you, but the pain of leaving kills me too
But not everything was fake, just truths wrapped in lie
I'm a girl imagined, now watch me as i die.
