I saw him
He was beautiful so i kept him
But i kept him a secret
I saw him walking the streets
And I saw him in my dreams
He was everything I wanted
And everything I needed
But he ate me alive
And used my bones for toothpicks
He hid in my closet in daylight
But at night he lurked in the shadows
Whispering in my ear
Telling me what I wanted to hear
His words like sugar
But his eyes like licorice
Skin of gold
And a heart of lead
He captivated my thoughts
He came with destruction
But I was blind
I let him into my home
And gave him a key
Letting him do as he pleased
I gave him my heart
Which he used as a doormat
His words were piercing like knives
That I wrote off as sarcasm in his defense
He fed me lies
And I ate them up
Ignoring the stomach ache
I was his toy till he got bored
He turned and left taking his doormat in tow
Leaving me tired afraid and alone
I knew the truth
But didn't want it
I let myself be decieved
And was ok with it
Wondered if the pain was worth it
I lost apart of me
To a devil with a sly smile
And brown eyes
I grind my teeth
And bite my lip
I shiver in anticipation
Waiting for him to come back
And show me love
But love will always be nothing more than a dream
And one day you have to wake up and realize
Dreams really don't come true
