Identify Thief


stop pretending, the game is now up
she is NOT me, NEITHER are you
never will be, never could be
but you are
a stolen product of your own delusions
in a grandly made up egg shell world you walk in
lies are a very tight web you weave to surround
living off another’s dreams that you can only wish
were yours where fear will bring you minutes ticking
where every string played
                          will
                          slowly
                          start
                          to
                          unravel
                          waiting
with the misery in the things you bought in my name
and these threads you so carefully tried to hide
will lead singing strongly in a well orchestrated court
all you left me in my credit was…time
it will catch up to me and to you too
and that is all I need…to tie you up
soon my name will no longer bear your scars
and you may feel no remorse inside but I will
know that my stolen money bought me exactly
what you truly deserve when you are caught
and you will be drinking behind
some new bars you will be introduced to
called true justice and those around you
will know who and what you really are

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

You bring such raw power to your words.
