"piece by piece... piece by piece..."

"You wanted all of me..."

"you're killing me piece by piece..."

I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul,

"my soul..."

but you were just a cold observer playing your role.

"your role... cold... so cold..."

Your words—sharp glass that glitters when it cuts,

"cuts deep... so deep..."

you laugh while my light dies like city streets at dusk.

"dusk... fading... dying..."

I was a house thrown open wide, every door unlocked,

"open... so open..."

you walked through and let the winter in—left everything in rot.

"rot... decay... nothing left..."

You eat me whole—piece by piece, bite by bite,

"piece by piece... bite by bite..."

leave just the hollow shell of who I was inside.

"hollow... empty... gone..."

For you, love's just a word—you crave the fucking throne,

"the throne..."

you kill me in broad daylight, break every single bone.

"break... break... break me down..."

I told you everything—each wound, each hidden shame,

"shame... shame... my shame..."

you catalogued my secrets, turned my scars into your game.

"your game... always your game..."

Your eyes—a mirror showing only your own face,

"your face... only you..."

narcissists don't love, they just consume and take your place.

"take... take... take it all..."

I drew you maps to every corner of my heart,

"my heart... bleeding heart..."

you studied every weak spot just to rip it all apart.

"apart... torn apart... shattered..."

You eat me whole—piece by piece, bite by bite,

"piece by piece... consuming me..."

leave just the hollow shell of who I was inside.

"who I was... who am I..."

For you, love's just a word—you need that goddamn throne,

"goddamn throne..."

you kill me in broad daylight, twist the knife through bone.

"through bone... feel it break..."

Sometimes I think it's me—that I'm to blame,

"Guilty... so guilty... am I to blame?"

I can't build a bridge from the shards when you're done.

"When you're done with me..."

But your hands destroy even stone, even steel, even truth,

"Destroy... destroy... destroy..."

I stand here on the ruins, mourning everything I've ever known.

"everything... nothing left... nothing..."

You eat me whole - and you call it love, you call it care,

"call it love..."

You lie constantly and change your mind constantly:

"you lie and change your mind"...

For you, love is simply control - you need someone who bleeds,

"I bleed... I bleed for you..."

You kill me slowly and gently - while I withdraw into myself.

"I withdraw into myself... I beg you... stop..."

One day I'll say enough – you'll still be searching for your toy,

"Your toy… for your empty ego…"

but I'll no longer be in your maze of mirrors, gaslighting tricks.

"I won't be… finally free…"

My heart will no longer be a minefield or your weapon,

"no more… never again…"

I count my last breaths behind this bolted door –

"last breaths…"

Slowly, slowly I'm learning: I am so much more,

"so much more…"

I am so much more than what you stole,

"more… more… more…"

More than your control,

No, I will be, you will be alone.

"alone… alone… alone…"
