I was your cureYou were my diseaseI was healing youWhile you were killing meI would wake upWondering why I was so unhappySearching for answers to my endless questionWhy are you so happySo filled with gleeWhile I I feel so emptyIt's like all I hadYou drained me of itYou placed your needle in my skinEver so gently So I wouldn't feel it And drew my lifelineUntil I was cold and lifelessYou placed your hands on my pagesEver so softlyAnd ripped me to shredsSo I wouldn't noticeUntil I looked and realizedI was nothing but A binding and the ridgesFrom pages that once stood stillFull of loveAnd a life that I once knewYou took me And emptied meJust so you could be filledSo you could feel whole againYet I feel so emptySo lifelessI have nothing But you have everythingYou took it all from meWith no intentions of giving it backYou showed who you areWhen we first metBut I chose to ignore the signsI ignored the signalsThe sirens were wailingDeafening sirens that would bringA mere person to their knees I ignored themThe echoedSwelledBellowedAnd yet I was not phasedIt's likeYou were in my faceIn your prideAnd gloryIn your true formAnd I never saw itAnd nowYou may think it's too lateBut I refuse to let you drain meYour games may be overBut mineOh mine are just beginning Watch outYou never know when I may strikeThey always sayRevenge is a dish best served coldWell guess whatI'm icy because of you and it's your timeTo pay WelcomeTo my gameThe game of powerThe game in which you are now the pawnI am the chess master Let's playPower
