The Ex
How could I invite an evil ghoul in my heart?
Was I so naive that I couldn’t see the signs?
Lamentably, I didn’t read between the lines.
And now my life is torn apart.
Oh foul foe who sodomized my dreams,
Aberrant partner with whom I shared a bed.
Pathetic Incubus wrapped in obscene extremes,
Your leash is broken. I am free instead.
Yet while I feel a sense of salvation,
It is impossible to disregard your legacy.
Years of torment drained me and eviscerated my identity.
I feel emotionally castrated, void of redemption.
