Piece of Mind.

You’ve taken a piece of my mind.

My reality is still so full of your aftermath, so

I’m constantly reminded of you everywhere I go.

My dreams, the one place I can go to escape the fear,

are still tormented by the events that escalated in this past year.

You’ll never steal my happiness,

you’ll never liberate me of my freedoms,

you’ll never have my defeat on your list of accomplishments

but I can never attain peace;

you’ve managed to take that much from me.

My mind follows my heart.

But, in this case, that peace of my mind

is all it took to tear me apart.
