Alexander's Lament

You were always around,
Your voice was ingrained in my mind and I smelled like you
Because of how you clinged to me

I poured out my heart to you one night 
I let down my walls
I showed my true self to you one night 

It was too much for you to bear
And then you were lashing out in thunderous rage
Then begging for my forgiveness 

My pain and sorrow, you knew,
And you claimed to love me
But I could not imagine hurting those I love 
As much as you hurt me 

And now my world is chaos 
My last bits of sanity, I can feel slipping away 

I should not have gone so far with you 
Should not have done 
Many things which I regret now 
I regret trusting you 

You respond now, you say, admitting your faults:

"I am a horrible monster,
And I hurt everyone I love"
