Metamorphosis

I was the quiet girl
in the corner of your big world;
Never to be seen
or even heard.

Then I became the friend
who you thought was interesting;
Talking endlessly
From night ’til morning.

Later on I became the muse
of your wild fantasies;
The woman of your dreams
and the calm of your seas.

But I became hell
like your personal monster,
Destroying all in its wake,
nothing but a disaster.

Now I am a stranger
whom you forget you knew;
It’s not easy after everything
but at least you try to.
