The one person I could count on, now my greatest enemy
I have never felt more betrayed
How could you do such a thing to me
How could you turn against me in the strongest possible sense
You cut me straight to the core in a way no one else can

You force me to change in ways unnatural to me
Making me into that which I passionately despise
Turning the world topsy-turvy making me against myself
My own being a weapon against me, leaving me internally destroyed

When will your torture of a broken soul end
Forcing my essence to split in two
One part to be ignored
Another to exist in blind living

For your crimes against me, I declare war on you,
May the best man live
