Look here, what I have for you
Everything I am and more
I will shift my shape
Kill the face you fell in love with
All to give you everything
Loyal to a fault
A dog at your side
I'll close my eyes while you
Pierce a spear through mine
Kill my confidence
Kill my eyes
Laid to rest
Never to fly
Complacent
Forgetting my place
Opening my mind
Til my brain falls out
But I have always been what I am
Everything else is an illusion
I will always be the thing beneath my shifting shape
Forever underground
Pushing towards the light
Moved to action by a deep fear
That I don't know what I am
Because no one has ever seen me
And all my mirrors are broken
I could never find the answers
Inside another's eyes
Yet still
I always try
I gave you my necklace
You never gave it back
"It was ugly," you said
Not the right color
So you smashed it to smithereens
And thought you had helped me
But it was taken from
My grandmother's corpse
