Hostis

You came up from the depths and,
Took my hand and never looked back
Dragged me down into the abyss, where,
I lost myself and accepted darkness

Took my hand and never looked back
Choking on my traitorous tongue
I lost myself and accepted darkness
My lies a foul and bitter taste in my mouth

Choking on my traitorous tongue
You laugh, and drive the blade further into my back,
My lies a foul and bitter taste in my mouth
A betrayal so shocking, it dissected me

You laugh, and drive the blade further into my back,
And look me in the eyes, and smile
A betrayal so shocking it dissected me
Try to pull me under once again

Look me in the eyes and smile
Standing there, staring, biding your time
And try to pull me under once again, but
I know you only come out when I look into the mirror too long.
