Back Again Pt 2

Your eyes look at me again, I feel myself turn mannequin. I know the fate that awaits as you tempt the three fates. You words are masterfully designed in a trap, and I am so inclined to see there is no escaping you no matter what I try, I’m one for two. Forced to watch my heart decay in the glass box you have on display. That taste of forgiveness is poison on my lips. From your rancid mouth I take the liar’s kiss. Why do you keep coming back to me if you never do plan to stay, simply? I can’t always pretend to be all you need for just like you, I know that I can bleed. Your eyes again they look at me but it was never me that you did see.

Madison, well crafted and painful enough for a lortab. Others often fail to grasp the pain they inflict by not seeing us as we truly are. But then again, I don't always project the true me! Thanks so much for your kind remarks on my stuff. Love, Will
