Nancy

You've asked for a partner in crime

And she would've been your ride or die 

Cause you picked her up from the streets 

Of internet dating and you raised her 

As you would your own: 

Obedient, conflicted and careless.


People your age dare not get involved 

"They ask for too much from me,

You seem to just enjoy my company"

Those words weren't compliments

But what do 15 year olds know?

She was obedient, conflicted and careless.


She moved into your modest castle

And slowly learned it was a golden cage.

She couldn't think, breathe or exist 

Without bothering your demons 

So she reduced herself to nothing 

As she was obedient, conflicted and careless.


She stayed for a decade on your side,

Endured the process of your casting 

Yet somehow you got blindsided when you

Reaped the fruit of your own darkness.

She left you with nothing as nothingness you wanted,

Cause she was obedient, conflicted and careless.
