You chase absolution like it’s hiding in the dark
Rewriting conversations, dissecting every scar
Thinking if you just explain it one more way
It won’t feel like rot inside your brain
You fake momentum just to slow the bleed
Build grand intentions on rusted knees
Blame timing, blame fate, blame the past you outgrew
But I was always waiting—right here, in you
⸻
You swear you’re better now, but better than what?
Every step forward is sabotage dressed up
You reach for light like it ever belonged
To someone who breaks when the day gets too long
I hold the matches, I drown the spark
I make you doubt every quiet part
And when you almost breathe like you used to believe
I twist the knife deeper—right under the sleeve
I don’t relent, I don’t forget
I don’t let go—I just reset
I kill your faith with practiced grace
I smile like calm while I eat your face
No other villain has touched you like this
Because I am
Your nemesis
You call it trauma, call it fate, call it war
But you hand me the keys when you close every door
You tattoo blame on every old bruise
But you’re the one dragging the noose
You look for enemies, you invent new trauma
But they never fit, and you thrive in the drama
Because I don’t screams—I hum in your bones
You never had to fear me
I was always home
There’s no evil plot, no face to smash
No dark-eyed stranger from a poisoned past
There’s just me—unmoving and near
The softest voice
You always hear
I don’t relent, I don’t forgive
I never die—I just relive
I mold your joy, I sculpt your dread
I wear your skin when you wish you were dead
No distant devil could cut like this—
Because I am
My nemesis
