A Lover's Suicide

She came into my life And seemed to end all my strife But suddenly things started to change Suddenly she began to act strange. Over and over she lied And every time I swallowed my pride. Every time I let her back in Even though I knew she was the daughter of sin. She played me for a fool Using me as her tool To get what she sought As I stood and fought And I tried with all my might To win this horrible fight To keep her standing by my side Then she’d become my lovely bride. But she left as soon as soon as she came And everything became the same As it had been once before And how it shall be forever more. If she could only see What she created inside of me. She created a darkness that will last And overshadow both my future and past. A darkness that’ll forever be a part Of my ever-longing heart. I look to a future that I dread With a gun pointed at my head. Look at what love’s done to me And try to learn from what you see As I take my last breath Knowing all my hopes lie in death.
