At some point, your true colours come out.
The one you want to please is nowhere to be seen
No longer cares whether you live or die.
And that sets you free.
Free to be the monster you have always been.
Your claws become more evident,
The wolf finally retires the sheep’s clothing
You are alive!
The one you cared for wasn’t meant to save you,
They wish they could but that was not their place to.
Now, you are left to wonder whether they really cared.
Your question is, why leave if you cared?
Truth is, they left because they cared.
Like you, they thought they could fix you or at least attempt to.
In time, they realized your demons needed to manifest.
They saw you fight your reality,
Trying so hard to look remotely close to an angel.
Because you didn’t want them to see you for the demon you were.
Sometimes they need to see your dark side,
No disguise.
In the conflict between light and darkness, there is no in between.
Those who are for you should be able do so knowing all the facts, no pretence.
And if then they choose to stay, the will never leave.
