There was a time
When I was carefree
There was a time
When I was just me
Until you came
With your insidious speech
You latched to my soul
And sucked like a leech
I slowly withdrew
Crawled into myself
Didn't even notice
Till I was far from help
One day I awoke
And burned you from my skin
Like a bloom in the Spring
I was reborn again
