You are a thief
You are a liar
You are a destroyer
You are the author of loneliness.

When you drive others
I feel trapped
I feel disrespected
I feel small
I feel the need to fight
I feel tired
I feel exhausted
And I want to pull away.

When you drive me
I might mean well, but
I disrespect others
I steal their agency
I attempt to manipulate them
I force my will on them
I push them away
And it all takes some much work

You have cost me so much
You have cost me relationships
that I still cherish
You have cost me friends
who I dearly miss
You have given me many sleepless nights
where I wrestled in turmoil
All lost in vain
All lost because of you.

I am through with you
I see you for who you are
There is nothing good in you
And you consume all peace.
