Even through my altruistic love and complete devotion
You managed to overcome humility and tear me to the ground
You set a self-destructive lifestyle in motion
And dragged many others down.

You were trusted and loved by many
Unconditionally cared for through it all
Yet your endless manipulation and lies
Brought about your conclusive downfall.

The betrayal of our humane affections
And the compassion we endlessly gave
Has brought to you a darkened heart
That will curse you ‘til the grave.

The venom of deception has claimed you
It courses through your veins
It has turned your heart to bitter stone
That is ignorant to life’s beautiful ways.

You hiss as a cornered serpent
And flash your hellish fangs
You whip your tail in self-defense
When, in love, I call your name.

You have become an impious monster
Possessed by the betrayal of all you held dear
You surrendered your life of luxury
For a life of misery, hatred, and fear.

You have become an incarnate devil
Wrought with the convolutions of deception
As you pay dearly for your betrayal
And rot in your transcendent coffin.
