Gaslighter

With mastered apathy
A barbed solipsist verse
The world beyond your mind is a mirage
A charnel house
Of absent empathy
An imitated warmth
I know your tender way is a facade
Blue devil
A frigid dancer in the fog
No rhyme in cancer
You keep me strung out on your love
Gaslighter
Vermin and the crown
You built this
Just to tear it down
In desert wards
You grew among the dunes
And as you pulled my strings
You became everything I ever knew
