A Part Of Me

Flames

Bitter sweet bliss
In the ghost of a kiss
Heaven and hell
Pleasure and pain
I felt it all at once
My boredom suddenly slipped away
And excitement took its place
As I saw your asymmetrical face

I lied to us both
When I told you
That I wanted only you
No matter how hard you try
Your sugarcoated sweet nothings
Just don't sway me anymore
The way they did before

Now, It hurts me to tell you
That you were nothing
More than my plaything

Now, I know just how wrong it was
To lead you on shamelessly
To sin so callously

But I promise you this
You would never have to see
My pretty face again
I will be gone with the wind
Never to be seen again

Its not all that bad
So don't be sad
Hope did reside in my heart
In the start
But not all things are meant to last
Intuition frowned with displeasure
At my naiveté
For I believed that our friendship
Was something I could hold onto
But all my fingers grabbed was air
And before I knew it
Everything went down in flames
Licking at my dark tresses
And devouring me whole
Till there was nothing left
Of my aching body
