I once believed in you
Believed your foolish lies
Ignored your wildfire sighs
Believed the bricked asylum
I now barely recognise
As my home, my safe
As a freeing, guileless place
You wielded a power so powerful,
It made you kneel and obey
But like a sorcerer or a priest or king,
Or a princess’ happy ending
You’d pray the evil away
Though, it stuck with you through your highs and your lows
Gave you more than I ever could
So, I watched as they took the blade out,
I watched as the monitor beeped
‘There’s nothing we can do,’ they said
Drowning in hot, wet cement
I take back my seeds you reaped
How do you feel now, now that it’s all gone?
Do you feel the sting? The crack? The slowing of the heart?
I once believed in you, my darling Judas;
Believed your empyrean vice
Until your despotic intentions came and saved the day
Until your decorated lyrics vapourised in flames
Oh, what a noble surprise?
