I see you standing there
Jangling your bracelets,
Laughing with your so-called friends.
You used to laugh real laughs,
Like you meant it.
And now you're just a fake.
A plastic copy.
A doll in a glass box.
That's what you've become.

Enjoy your time left in this illusion,
The place you've built to keep yourself safe.
Soon you'll wake to reality.
Stripped of all your facades and pretenses,
Will you laugh then, I wonder?
All the same, laugh now.
I want to revel in your falseness.
I want to see you act in the play
You've forgotten yourself in.

I want you to regret:
What you have done to yourself.
What you have taken away from everyone.
I want you to see your real self
And despair.
Have you forgotten what we once had?
How we formerly giggled about pretentious pushovers?
But no matter now.
You don't have to remember the truth to feel.

In my reality, I've descended into a dark chamber.
I am cold and dead, no feelings.
A body is dragged before me.
It is you.
A sentence: She has lost her soul; she has no need of her body.
Vile miasma cloaks my vision.
I am blinded from your punishment.
I rejoice still: I hear your blood-chilling screams.
I can taste your blood flecked across my face.

You scream and you scream.
There is no escape from the truth.
You've hidden yourself for so long,
The reality must hurt.
I shiver suddenly and reminisce
The days when we used to be friends.
What caused the sudden change?
You left me for your 'other friends'.
I'm become what I am from your betrayal.

And suddenly all explodes into white.
I squint, and find myself in a picturesque field.
This is my illusion, my imaginary plane.
You are there as well, dressed in your summer clothes.
You have returned to the way you were before.
I forgive your digression, for the world is cruel after all.
I have cut you from your false world
The corrupted existence you put up with,
So you can enjoy my reality.

As your body is physically repenting below,
Your spirit, which has remained true all these years,
Has finally come to rejoice with me.
