I once craved an angel's touch
But was deceived by this demon's lust
Swathed in black
This wolf in sheep's clothing
Seduced by her words
And lured by her curves
Drawn into her life
To satisfy her whim
Her boyfriend didn't know
Or didn't care
She called on me
When he wasn't there
Locked in a box
And hidden from view
Dirty little secret
Nobody knew
She opened the box
When she needed me
My needs counted
For nothing
Her demon's lust
I have this new found venom that she never saw
It swells inside
Impossible to ignore
Tears burn like acid
Wounds opens daily like a gift shop selling gifts that no-one will buy
Sorrow turns to bitterness
Bitterness turns to anger
Anger turns to hatred
She was no angel
She's not dead
But she's dead to me
I've buried the ashes of those shared memories
Everyone I know goes away
I wonder
Do I cross your mind?
Are you aware you caused my decline?
In case you wondered
I'm not doing fine
