Unfriending You Hurts Me More Than He Hurts You (unfriended comp entry)

His obsessive control is nearly as stinging to my eyes  
As your submissive obedience gives him a rise  
I cannot watch as he cripples your self-esteem  
Turning you into a hollow shell he loves to demean  
Seeing you accept it turns my stomach, filling me with rage  
You may as well be locked in a chicken-wire cage  
I cannot pretend to be an accepting or unfeeling friend  
So before he deletes the rest of you in a box till the end  
I'm letting go of the angel I once held near and dear to my heart  
Because the person you were is gone and broken apart  
You were an artist and poet with a mind of your own  
Now nothing remains since grooming you into his subservient stone
