Piercing my soul...
Blinding my eyes...
Shredding my very existence...

Slicing my wrists...
Ripping my heart...
Shredding my very existence...

Mulching my memories...
Eviscerating my imagination...
Shredding my very existence...

Did I allow him to have that much power over me...
Did I permit him to control my every thought...
Did I grant him influence over my decisions...
Did I love him with all my heart…

Begone, you bastard Satan!
I take back all control of my life…
I’m too strong to succumb to your vicious attempt…
To make me your prisoner wife…
