You Were So Clever

You were so clever, you diged into my world like ants looking for shelter, I was empty like a tunnel. You were vicious like a snake, not while you needed my lips to quench your fire, I became vain in my desires. When you weren't killing me, you were charming, and when you were charming you were still a liar. I never really knew you, you were like silence with many secrets hidden, and I was not with you. I clinch to sadness and sadness so tenderly hold me back, I can smell the gardenia of your emptiness and it grabs my soul, so sweet, yet so dead. With tears of pouring thin rain, they touched my bones and hurt me, beating my hopes, my words are more yours than mine, they climb up my body like flames waiting for your return. You are the blame for this cruel tone in my voice, before you! there was nothing but me; now you left a hole in me! you hear me?
