Monster

You say I'm not the girl I used to be
You say I've changed too much.
You can't seem to understand why
I recoil from your once-tender touch.

You criticise me every moment I'm alive
Until I can't stand to look you in the eye
Your voice is cold as you scream at me
And tell me it's better if I just die.

I only want the life I used to lead
The one in which you'd kiss me good-night
You'd never call me the names that you do now
We'd never wake up in the morning just to fight

You were my hero; I idolised you to no end.
I thought you were the greatest man on Earth.
I never could've seen my heart getting broken by you,
But now it's your insults by which I'm most hurt.

So if I've changed into something unfamiliar,
I'm not the only one; it's true.
You've also morphed into a monster,
So far from the man I knew.
