Salvation
Burrowing Worm
Naive to the intentions you set
Trusting your words as I found comfort from them
Blind to the signs forewarning me
Deaf to the cry of my all knowing soul
Trusting as I have always been
Giving, never asking for much in return
Proving myself to you
Taken for granite and utterly hurt
Planted in my soul, a burrowing worm
Slowly eating away at my essence
But still I remain
Loyal or a Fool
A night, in my waking dreams, I see myself
I see the worm eating at my quivering soul
Burrowing deeper and deeper
Yet I did nothing to stop it
I pretend to be naive
I am onto your game, no longer the pawn
The Burrowing Worm of your self hatred, Halted
Purged from myself, Stronger than before
No longer will the virulent words stab at me
I know your weakness, it will serve as my strength
The tables will turn in time, full circle
But I will not Plant a Burrowing Worm
I will leave you to your own self destruction
