Before we met, there was nothing I feared.
No one could cause me pain, nothing could ground my soul.
Without a heart, without the bliss, each happiness was the greatest of
my life.
And I lived without, knowing not what heights I did not reach.

Then you awakened my being, and brought my spirit to life.
I was driven to succeed, to be worthy of your love.
I pushed myself to rise, to not fail, to be better than I was.
All for the awakened soul and the bliss you brought me.

All, it turns out, for naught.

I walk alone again, as before we met.
My heart shattered and gone.
And now I know what heights I have lost.
Now I know what bliss I miss.
And now, there is nothing but darkness to follow me.

You awakened and destroyed.
You drove and broke.
My spirit is shattered.
My desires are lost.
My hopes devestated.
So I walk alone.
Fearing even the gaze of another.
Avoiding the world.
Praying to Pain.
For only Anguish in body removes the Suffering of the soul.

Awakened.
And
Slain.
