No Escaping

Over and over you appear in my mind
No matter what I do you are always there
We were always together, you and I
It's all over, why do I still care?
You're gone forever and I'm still here
Why do you do this to me?

I can't escape your clutches
I've tried so many times
But I'm trapped within your grasp
Everyday I become just like you
Jaded and distant from the world
Why do you do this to me?

I keep thinking it's never too late
But it was too late when we met
My hands reach out for you
I plead for you, waiting for an answer
Only sound I hear is my heart ripping into pieces
Why do you do this to me?

Your poison is seeping in
Destroying all that I was
Never returning to the way it was meant
Now and then I see a glimpse of the truth
But then you take it away
Why do you do this to me?

Let it die, my heart pleads
It feels like there is a riot in my soul
Howling in the shadows, my old self appears
It tells of my untold story that you destroyed
Why do you do this to me?

This light I see, is it real?
Or just one of your tricks 
Trying to prolong my suffering
This animal I have become is all your fault
And you didn't even try
Why do you do this to me?

Now, everything is clear
Am I finally free?
Can my inner universe finally rest?
As I fade into nothing, you aren't here
As I burn my dread, I reach salvation
In the last moments, you appear
Even in the end, you were always on my mind
Why do you do this to me?
