"Mistake"

You've weakened me, sapped me of strength.
Like a vampire you tasted my essence, and drank your fill.
I tried to deny you, but it did no good. You were inevitable.
Like a runaway train you crashed your way into my life, leaving wreckage in your wake.
You used me like a rapist; taking what you needed and leaving me violated.
My former life is only a series of memories. My old habits are broken.
I used to sleep thru the night, but you keep odd hours and insist that I'm there with you.

You murdered the me that I was, and gave birth to the me that I now am.
And I love you for all of this.

You entered me in a moment of pleasure, and introduced yourself with hours of pain.
When I hold you to me, I see my future in your eyes.

The sight of you covered in my blood is the image I'll see when my last breath fades on the wind.
And I'll smile.

You cured me of frivolity, and infected me with purpose.
You're the best mistake I ever made.
