ME
  by Illinois Jules

    Do you know what you've done to me?

    All your possessiveness...?
    All your desire...?
   Your smothering need...?!

    Even if I ever thought to return to you,
    How could I expect to live up to the image you've built me into?

    Me.
    The REAL *ME*.

    I never hope to near that glowing dark blood-god you've sequestered and 
pedestalled me to! 

    Me...........
    If it were 'just',  ME - 

    I might be able to concede your passion.
