Thank you for the memories
You drained the happiness out of.
Cheers for breaking me to my knees
And making me surrender.
For stripping me of my dignity;
A toast to your greatness.
And stopping me from being free-
How can I repay you?
In honour of the tears you caused
I gave you too much praise.
I notice how you never paused
To think how things could change.
So can you see my gratitude
For everything you've done?
Your ability to illude
So many with your simple mind.
