You see, she was a muse.

A beauty that played the game,

I knew I was going to lose.

She was twisted,

abusive,

mad.

Oh,

I yearned for her to never be sad

but in doing so,

she took what I never knew I had.

In the late hours of the night

I can still see those eyes

that I wish I could despise.

For she was my demise.

Confused.

I'm so,

so,

confused.

I can't help but to feel used.

Like a paper towel who's one use

was to pick up stains

of another man's abuse.

Broken,

beaten,

tattered,

dead.

I thought we were to be wed.

Please,

I loved her from her toes

to her head.

Why?

Why did she invite another man into our bed?

Oh my,

did you see how her heart bled?

Those sheets will always be stained red.

It made me laugh.

She faced my wrath.

You can see it as a mangle,

but please,

look at it from my angle.

She had my heart in tangles,

it was mine that she strangled.

You say I killed her.

Oh,

but did you know that she

obliterated me first.

I was quenched with a thirst

only revenge could satisfy.

I don't need to testify.

I killed her,

but she killed me first.

Guilty,

I plead.

For I am proud of what I have done.

After all, it was my heart that she had won.
