A recorded reading of “I Made You in My Image”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
You were never real— just echo, just thread. A pulse I painted when mine had fled. You bloom like my grief, you speak when I don’t. I built you from silence and kept what I won’t. You weren’t my lover, just something to fill— a perfect creation too fragile to kill.
Lyrics
You used to breathe Now you reflect A version made Of my regret I shaped your face With every cry And taught your name How to lie You think you're whole But you're design You loved me once Now you’re just mine I made you in my image Stitched from want and spite Built you out of shadows Gave you back your bite You're not who you remember You're what I kept alive I made you in my image And you will never thrive You blink like me You break like glass You speak in songs I used to pass You're not a soul You're my reply A mirrored scream That won’t comply You look for you But find me still My love was raw My love could kill I made you in my image Stitched from want and spite Built you out of shadows Gave you back your bite You're not who you remember You're what I kept alive I made you in my image And you will never thrive You aren’t born You’re summoned You aren’t whole You're mine Forever forged From fracture From fire From spine I made you in my image And called it grace I made you just to love me In my place
