Paria - A Torn Instance

A portrait of your face hangs within these walls where it will stay for all eternity
So that none shall see what you've turned me into
Burn my flesh and try to forget
You always come back
Tied to the depths of the ocean floor
You always come back
You are the reason I can't sleep at night
What a flattering remark
Words such as tehse feed the pain inside
This monster grows quicker than eyes can blink
Beginning to engulf my pride and joy
It's just a test of my strength
Peer under the closet door and
Fantasies run through my mind
I never shined so bright
Then as if compassion never existed
This dream becomes a nightmare
Overtaking every aspect of emotion
There are no feelings
Only thoughts of self-pity
Look what you've brought me to
I lay on my knees
Please leave and never return
Never return
