Mine

By Anaelle

I'd hate to say goodbye
When I'm not ready to leave
But my tears are starting to dry
And I fear I'm gathering strength
I'm itching to cut my strings
But you keep jerking them away
Drawing me into yourself
What an addictive drug you've become
Is this not a self destruction?
Not when you say you love me...
But I can't hide the pain
And I want to drag you down with me
I want to watch you fall
Shatter into bitter pieces of anger
...I want to watch you cry...
I want it to be all about me
All my fault - so I know
I know I affect the puppeteer
I want to pull on your strings
Make you dance sadly
I want you to feel dead...
So I can breath life into you
Like you always do to me
I want to pick up the pieces
And put them together for myself
I want to be completely selfish
And pull you away from the world
