Your words sunk into my skin,

Moved throughout my veins,

Stabbed their way into my mind,

Until I was yours.

You didn’t like seeing me grow,

So you stomped on my roots,

And blocked the sun.

Your lies spread through me,

_Consumed_ me,

And I thanked you all the same.

I never realized I was happily drinking your poison,

In its pretty pink nature,

Both deceitful and beautiful,

Much like yourself.

Your falsehoods took over me,

Until I was just a vessel,

A shell of my true soul,

Finally yours to control.
