I’m not your girl
That girl died long ago
She’s been buried
Along with the sins of the past

I’m not yours to keep
That was not
What I agreed to
When you whispered promises

When you exchanged secrets
That you hoped I’d take
To the very grave
As you danced with other maidens

I’m not your slave
To your endless nightmares
Never have and I
Never will

You accuse me of
The very sins you’re doing
Hoping I will break
Bending to your brokenness

But you forget one thing
In your deluded mind

I’m stronger than I was
When you met me
As a stranger
To your dark nights

I’m a phoenix
A survivor
I’m meant to live
I matter!

No amount of phone calls
Will change my inner revival
Nothing you could ever say
Will ever leave me an empty shell

Never again
In your wildest dreams
Will I lie on the floor
Hoping you will change

You became a mistake
I never will make
The memory of you
Buried six feet deep

In the cold ground
Without a hand to hold
Or a mind to distort and
Destroy like your victims
