Our paths diverged
meeting you made me extremely curious.
our lives were distinctly different
but i didn't get that bothered with it.
we had a good thing going
even though i always ended up being smothered.
i wanted to push through all the way
but something kept me from diving too deep into the fray.
i am no longer a slave to your beckoning call
i now know how to get rid of you.
it's on, it's over, i've got control.
now i can take back those precious things that you stole.
those shiny things, parts of me, my identity;
things you all took that left me this gaping hole.
i can now look into my mirror.
shattered pieces as they may be
at least i can finally see myself as a whole
