She ignored me.

I told her I wasn't kidding
and she just shrugged her shoulders.
She didn't care. But I knew what would happen
and I couldn't lie dormat forever. So, I had to react.
I invaded what I could, just to wake her up.
I really do want her to realize what I can do.
And she needs to kill me and make sure I'm gone, otherwise,
I don't know what I may do. I'm unpredictable.

Today, she felt it.
Not me, per se, but the effects of what I've done.
So, she's going to the doctor.
I kept telling her I was right, and now,
she's at risk of losing it all. I'd hate to see that.
After all, she is a beautiful young lady
with her whole life ahead of her.
Twenty-two is too young to die.

At the doctor's office, as the doctor re-entered the room,
I heard him say, "Ma'am, I have some bad news."

And then I knew,
I had gone too far.
