A letter to the artist, expressing a deep connection but also concern about the artist's struggles with love and music, and the negative impact on both.

As much as it pains me to say

I really fell in love with you

Why is it so hard for you to find balance between love and music?

Why does loving me mean the death of you?

I've experienced it first hand, your ability to love something more than music

You've now created the things that'll haunt you the most

Please, allow yourself to love again

For it may do the opposite of what you fear

You told me once that you believed love creates a respite of death

And I've struggled to understand the entrapment that you feel

Because I, too, fear death just as much as anyone else

Not just the physical sense of the word

But in the idea of what death represents

Dreams and aspirations becoming finite

I never wanted to be your demon

But you have made me this way

Your lack of compassion feeds my obsession

Describing a complex relationship dynamic where one person is driven by obsession and the other is the object of that obsession.
