Devil In Disguise

The devil in disguise
you weren't sent from the skies
you walked the broad horizon
and filled my world with your horrid lies.

Selfishness is all you knew
Your blood sucking ways bled me dry
left me nothing but an empty shell
beyond introverted, beyond shy.

You locked away the best parts of me
and let loose the ugly truths
a hideous pattern of self destruction
your ever growing demon fruits.

Your darkness became all i knew
consuming every happy thought
to hide away and lie to myself
became all i ever sought.

Your dark whispers in my ear
my mercy at your feet
like a fast approaching thunder storm
you hit hard and fast and made me weep.

Pushing away those who wanted to help
and those willing to understand
accepting feelings of loneliness and despair
i crumbled at your evil command.

It was time for you to go
but your grasp was tighter than ever
I tried so hard to break free
But your power was one that i could not sever.

Desperate and losing faith
suffering some kind of insanity
with your demon like spirit inside my head
I was losing grip with humanity.

Left with no ounce of self control
taking everything for granted
brainwashed by something alien
anything destructive you had planted.

But when you took the things i loved
when you left me naked on the floor
there's one thing you didn't count on
a tiny ounce of will, buried deep within my core.

Picking myself up, and brushing myself off
standing tall with my head held high
I gathered up all remaining strength
I sent you packing, i broke the tie.

The pain you caused me
The desperation you made me feel
Never again will you be allowed to consume me
or take away all that i know is real.

I am not the girl i used to be
the one you selfishly took away
her innocent mind was never for you
And be sure, one day you will pay.
