Simplex

Simplex

What you gave me, 

You can't have back.

It's in me, forever now.

Not that I wanted it.

Or needed it.

Or did I?

This part of me.

Well, 

I guess that's it now.

I can feel it in me.

I don't want it there.

I want to be cleansed.

Free from what I got;

But it's in me now.

Like a parasite.

This dark horse,

Feeding off my life force.

Making it hell.

When it should be bliss.

What am I going to miss?

Because of this?

But then, 

What am I going to gain?

Is this part of some plan?

Do I even believe in that?

You make it hard not to.

It's in me now.

Part of me now.

Together forever.

This part of me,

That wasn't invited.

Just came along for the ride.

I have it inside.

Forever.
