I'm detrimental to you, my dear
A toxic poison seeping in
Slowly suffocating all that you hold dear
My presence, a curse, an unforgivable sin
I once was your sunshine, your hope
But now, I bring nothing but despair
My love, a slippery slope
Leading you to a world of care
I'm detrimental to you, my love
A hurricane, destroying all in its path
Leaving you broken, no longer above
My wrath, a never-ending aftermath
I used to be your shelter, your shield
But now, I am your worst enemy
With every touch, every word, I yield
Causing you pain, oh so endlessly
I'm detrimental to you, my darling
A black hole, consuming all your light
Leaving you helpless, constantly snarling
My grip, a force you cannot fight
I once was your saving grace
But now, I am your ultimate demise
My love, a poison you can't erase
A taste, forever imprinted in your eyes
I'm detrimental to you, my sweet
A curse, haunting your every dream
My presence, a weight you cannot defeat
Dragging you down, in an unrelenting stream
I used to be your everything
But now, I am the source of your pain
With every breath, every move, I bring
A downfall, a never-ending rain
I'm detrimental to you, my dear
A disease, infecting your soul
My love, a poison you cannot clear
A wound, that will never truly close
I once was your heart, your soul
But now, I am your downfall
My grip, a hold you cannot control
A trigger, that will forever enthrall
I'm detrimental to you, my love
A shadow, lurking in the dark
Leaving you numb, shattered, and lost
My touch, a never-ending mark
I used to be your everything
But now, I am your greatest fear
With every thought, every feeling
A reminder, that I am always near
I'm detrimental to you, my darling
A thorn, piercing deep into your heart
My love, a wound that keeps on bleeding
A pain, tearing you apart
I once was your reason to live
But now, I am the end of it all
My grip, a hold you cannot forgive
A downfall, that was destined to fall
I'm detrimental to you, my dear
A curse, you can never shake off
My presence, a constant fear
Leaving you broken, with no hope to scoff
But despite all the damage I have done
I still love you, with all my heart and soul
I may be detrimental, but my love, it's just begun
Forgive me, and make me whole.
