This pain will make me wiser

What a betrayal.
This stranger that I've been harbouring,
Turning into a beast.

Oh, how I flail.
Hopelessly in its direction,
As on my pain it feasts.

This part of me that I forgot,
The woe it brings, I cannot stop,
My dreams and faith begin to rot,
Stop, you win, you've got the lot.

My mind, my sanity, my soul, my smile,
It's all gone while you're here.

You came to me young, naive, a child,
And now you'll destroy me, I fear.

I should have known, I had the chance, your treason was apparent,
But how, I ask, could I have stopped, this evil running rampant?

What a betrayal, I called you my own,
What deceit, I gave you a home,
What?
A wisdom tooth, making me moan.
