This Is Not Who I Once Loved

You look at me Different than before You once looked at me with a glow in your eyes You once had joy and brightness in your smile You used to glow more than the sun itself Now your eyes are dark and cold Your smile quivers and is thirsty for power You aren’t kissed by the sun anymore Not the moon You have been sucked into a black hole It is too late for you You once craved laughter Now all you want is power and blood I can’t believe after everything This is you You were so kind I loved you so much You loved me too How could you have caused this much suffering I thought you would thrive in power Never like this though I thought you would make things brighter with me by your side You took everything Threw me out Your greed has taken you over I want you back I never asked for this
