You wanted me to grow
You said ‘grow’
so I grew
You must know I only
did it for you
–
You wanted me to change
you said ‘change’
so I changed
As I watched; My life
you rearranged
–
You wanted me to kill
you said ‘kill’
so I killed
Now this emptiness longing
to be filled
–
You wanted me to die
you said ‘die’
so I died
And I watched; you
haven’t even cried
