I dread the day when you banish me, making me an outcast,
Not just from your life but also from your heart.
I won't breathe in a world where you don't love me,
Where I'm someone you can look at but not see.
Or worse, I'm just an afterthought;
Once your entire universe, now only a ghost.
So, the moment I betray your trust,
Instead of your words, kill me with a knife and turn me to dust.
Don't banish me from your heart; don't you dare weep,
Gainsay all blame and bury me seven feet deep.
