romance

That first night our chemistry couldn’t be calculated 

I had no intention of igniting sparks but you sought me out like a shark

Blood thirsty from the start

Maybe it’s because you assumed I could leave you with more than just a memory

One that you’d reminisce and miss without really noticing 

I suppose you had a master plan to reel me in

Yeah it must have been simple then

You grabbed me by the hand and wove your fingers into mine like velvet 

I was putty in your palms the way I melted

I know you felt it 

In those first two months we were joined at the hip

You couldn’t stand to be apart when I went out of town for my business trips

You’d insist we FaceTime the second I was inside

Always ignoring the fact that I rather unwind 

That’s alright

I let you take control since it was new territory 

You loved praise so I catered to your glory 

After a while that routine was outdated

I grew quick to anger and never hesitated 

To stand up for myself

That was disrespectful in your eyes

You’d trip off the fallacy’s then blame me for your insecurities

I’ve had enough!

This is how you treat me after only six months

I should have been wise enough to put my myself first

Instead I scarified my happiness at account of your worth

Now I see why you’re a master at your craft

You calculated each move I made down to the last 

I should’ve thrown your number into the trash but...

The way you approached so confidently 

Intrigued me

Within a couple of weeks I poured out my feelings

Only to realize how estranged I became 

After hearing your name on another’s lips

You crippled my will by forcing your grip

It was detriment to my spirit

My damaged heart is (again) left in ruins

I felt you drag the blade over the wounds that were previously made

Are you proud?

What do you have to say?

I was the prey in your deceptive game

Slain to this evil empress

Tormented by a smoldering temptress 

With only one thing on her mind

Seduce her before you take her life

What’s left are ashes

Let it fizzle out in that casket

Along with the rest of the deceased

Bury me six-feet deep

Convinced you’ve rid of me

I’ll return with a vengeance 

Ready to feed 

Killing my nemesis off in one two three  

Maybe next time you’ll think twice 

Before piercing me with just a single knife!
