Title: You can't stop me, this is mine.

Poem: I don’t know
Who I am without you
Here where I lie
And you inside.
Weight and darkness and deep seated tendrils,
I’ve never seen your face,
And I’ve long forgotten mine.

I have you and a mask
And self hatred and lies,
A soul, worn away,
And a self you've long overpowered.
I’m not the only one who can’t
Remember what it was like before
You came to stay.

But I suppose it doesn’t matter,
I need no alibi.
You have me now
I lost, you won,
And you’ll keep winning until the day I die
Lying here
Consoled
For this is one thing that is forever mine,
You can’t stop me saying goodbye....
