The Pain Will Still Be Fresh.

I can't believe I let it phase me,

Take control of my psyche.

All things sacred became corrupted

As you tore down everything I thought we built together.


I can't believe I let you consume me:

You don't belong here inside my head.

You're very sweet aroma,

Once as rose buds,


Is now the taste of acid.


I can't believe you take up my mind,

Somehow.

From time to time you reappear,

Melting my heart with turpentine.


A parasite,

A fink,

A serpent,

You offer nothing constructive.


Ten years may pass,

And always,

With the wrath of your sins,

The pain will still be fresh.
