It’s been three years since I said I could marry you
Over two since I realized I could never
***
You see demons that aren’t there
You say
They are yourself
***
You believe you are wicked’s evil tongue
The right-hand of Satan
The human embodiment of Beelzebub
***
You are the systemic persecution of innocent people
You must tear it down
An oppressive rule you must dismantle
***
I’d dedicated my life
But each and every time
The only evil you did
Was not realizing it was in your mind
