The Cull

A man takes a wife
She waits to be wed
Tell me how mad you are
When I grew strong
When I found a way to beat you at your own games
Tell me how you moved on
When I let you go
When I killed myself in order to be free
The world needed a weaker girl
Like the one I used to be
And I destroyed her in order to become my self
You witnessed a meaningless transformation
Because I had never changed
Your eyes deceived you as they watched me let go
Of your expectations and desires as I kept my own
I became my self, the self I had always been
That they sought to bury
In order to save a woman
Who never existed
