Poem Title:
Poem
The only thing she ever wanted to was to be the thing he needs, To heal him when he bleeds, To dig out all his weeds. But the truth is he's remorseless and is full of rage and greed, And though he sees her beg and plead, She's just a book he'll never read. He sees it as a game and it's the kind he loves to play, Hope on the string he yangs away, He's there with no promise to stay. And even though he says he doesn't care, he's in his room, Content to wallow in his doom, High off the scent of her perfume. She knows his kiss is venomous, but she's caught in his web of doubt. She knows that he's the devil, but they're dancing nose to snout. And hopefully she'll find out pretty soon, what he's about, 'Cause if she wants to survive his bite, she'll suck the poison out. But she tries to love the one who tears down bridges and builds walls, Ignoring all her cries and calls, Treating girls like paper dolls. Yet he chooses to deceive her with his silver forked tongue, A piper with the songs he's sung, Twisting her 'til she's come unstrung. And god and everyone else knows he just wants someone to follow, Feeds her booze for her to swallow, Now from the inside out, she's hollow. And as her vision starts to blur, she's dizzy and unwell, With no known cure to break his spell, She's burning in the pits of Hell. She knows his kiss is venomous, but she's caught in his web of doubt. She knows that he's the devil, but they're dancing nose to snout. And hopefully she'll find out pretty soon, what he's about, 'Cause if she wants to survive his bite, she'll suck the poison out. She may not be a hero or an angel, but she's brave, 'Cause he's the one she wants to save, And he's the one she'll always crave. But no one really knows him, he's a master of disguise, All the words he spews are lies, Will she ever realize? When she learns to look beyond his mask her soul my die, Because all she does is try, While he leaves her high and dry. If he pokes and prods her heart, and if his demons domineer it, She'll scream loud enough to hear it, No, He'll never break her spirit. She knows his kiss is venomous, but she's caught in his web of doubt. She knows that he's the devil, but they're dancing nose to snout. And hopefully she'll find out pretty soon, what he's about, 'Cause if she wants to survive his bite, she'll suck the poison out.
