In the echoes of your looks
in the space between your syllables
i discern your true intent

the contempt bleeds through
despite your kind words
those illustrious lies
you tell so well.

when you smile at me
in your superiority
your knowledge of my place
outside your bourgeoisie.

I shall break you down!
if I cannot climb to you,
be your equal,
you shall be mine.

in fear and tears
i'll diminish you
dehydrate your soul
make you base; like me.

crumble your self worth
ruin your self esteem
piss on your confidence
shit on your dreams

bring you down
slap you around
wither your smiles
unravel the seams

of your happiness,
your assurance.
Safe in your superiority;
how dare you be better than I?

Burn, corrode, sigh
my failure is contagious
be a loser, like me.
Your pain will make me smile.

All the while, tasting the bile,
losing everything worthwile.
Come to me, be low
Surrender your confidence to me
Only I can make you smile.
