Slow Death

Long ago
I was conceived
Woven from the cloth of dream
Introduced to you by you
Your reality my only scene

I remember things that you are loathe to confess
The beatings and the sadness and the states of duress
Can’t have a better friend that one of custom design
Fine — try to keep me in this inner stall.

I ain’t no fool
I know what you’re doin’
I wont go down…
Easy.

No I cannot hold out very long
Gonna make you pay.

Feeding on memories — you chose long ago to throw away.
Synthesizing energies
My revenge relies upon delay.

I will poison comfort with injections of fear
Whispers oh I’ll generate just inside your ear
Can’t have a better foe than one of custom design
Dying — slowly surely you’ll feel my fall.

I ain’t no fool
I know what you’re doin’
I wont go down…
Easy.
