I'm changing, morphing, transforming. And the end result isn't a butterfly.

I'm

Changing

Morphing

Transforming

Into something that I don't want to be

Into my worst nightmare

Into you

~o~

A frosty cold lump

Forms in my chest

Icing over my heart

And replacing it with something

Incapable of love

~o~

My heart turns to ice

But the rest of me blazes

Anger

Jealously

Hate

They consume me

~o~

Flames lick at my emotions

Permanently altering them

They shrivel and blacken

Becoming

Apathy

~o~

My humanity

Goes up in flames

Ashes drift to the ground

The last remains

Of who I once was

~o~

Evil

Seeps through my bloodstream

Contaminating the very fiber of my being

And washing away anything

That the flames might have forgotten

~o~

The fire dies down

Its job is done

But the evil remains

Completing my transformation

~o~

Who would have thought

That one little dance

Could have done all this?


A/N: The dance mentioned in the last two lines is referring to the "Dance with the Devil". Loosely based on the song Animal I have Become by Three Days Grace.
