Power
You watch like a hawk
as she leaves your sight,
Every step she takes,
you hold with your might.
You can’t enjoy conversation
till she’s again in your arms reach,
Once she’s standing right beside you,
you transform into a leech.
What she says is always wrong,
your words are always right,
And anytime she tries to stand,
you challenge her to a fight.
She has no friends, you won’t allow,
no one else can do,
You stripped away her mirror’s reflection,
and replaced it with images of you.
"The sky is purple," you could say,
and she wouldn’t have a clue,
She walks around, your voice in her head,
not knowing what to do.
Simple trips to the store and back
become your reason to fight,
Cuz she wasn’t back in your "time limit,"
you take away her right.
You plot and deceive behind her back,
in hopes of gaining more power,
And tell little lies, month after month,
hour after hour.
Where is she now, with all your power
you guard over her mind?
Where is she, Boy? She got away,
seems her heart was not so blind.
Your power’s an illusion that controls only YOU,
cuz everyone else can see
And once she saw it, she washed it away,
and now... she can be Free.
