Afraid of You, Afraid of Me
I’m afraid of you,
You’re afraid of me.
you make my life hell,
I make yours heaven.
I have no control.
You stole it all.
You stole my life away,
when we were young.
Now there is nothing left
for me to hold, but you.
The poison that destroys
The Bane of my existence.
You cage me inside
of myself.

It's nice. But I'm not sure how much I was able to completely understand it. Keep writing!

Hmmm. This is very interesting! I like the writing style and the idea, but I would suggest wrtiting pieces that are slightly less straightfoward
