under the guise of love
you stand there
mocking comfort
embracing my fear
using words
blessed with lethal emotion
as a blade
dissecting my body and mind
feeding me to others
whose value you feel is worth more
and I stand by
fearing more from my strength to leave
then your power to make me stay
but I am better than this
I will no longer be this imposter
the foundation for your ego
so, what will happen to you
when I rise
and the illusion falls?
