Imprinted

Other words run through my head, I can't make them stop.
Forever imprinted in me.
I can't rid myself of them, or the hurt they have caused me.
They became me.
I look and see nothing.
Transparency, like glass.
Easily shattered.
Distortion, then destruction.
You are unaware.
Not interested.
What concerns you, concerns me.
Does what conerns me, concern you?
I don't understand,
I can't.
You're the only one to have triumphed.
The only one to have done this to me.
Nobody can know.
Know what I am.
What I'm capable of.
You pressed hard, used your charm.
I gave in.
Everything is coming together in a mess over top of another.
I balance it all, it used to work.
Once.
I'm tipping, leaning.
Falling.
I need to support both, need to please you all.
Avoid the pain.
The pain, you cause.
I don't need you, you don't need me.
Vanish.
I've accomplished what I needed to, no one ever cared before.
You're the first.
The last.
You think it's a compliment,
It's an insult.
We're too similar.
Deep down.
The imprints come back, like footsteps.
Haunting me.
They take hold of me, engulfing me with hatred,
Suffocating me.
You could stop it, if you tried.
You won't.
Do you want me to hurt?
To feel the pain you felt?
I'm not like you, not now.
Not yet.
It must end.
It's too late to prevent it from happening to me.
It's already happened.
It's not too late for you, if you'll accept it.
Accept me,
And save me from myself.

Wow...that's one of the better ones I've read lately.  It was a little tough to follow at first, but once I caught on, it became simply marvelous...I suddenly feel envious of you...it's all good.
