Appeared To Be

I often wonder how someone, I never knew. Could walk into my life, Turn It into a zoo. Before I met her, I was safe And sound. Took a dip in her pool, Here, I drowned. A perfect stranger that snatches Your heart. You don't see the danger, Until your World falls apart. I remember how it was before She came. I have No one but myself To blame. She knew what she was doing, She cut me deep. She was a skilled hunter, My wound still seeps. She looked me in the eye, She threw a knife at my back. I was not prepared, No defense to the attack. She is a professional, The heart she shreds. She left me alive, Feeling Dead. I will never know peace, A rage is alive inside. She twisted my reality when She turned the tide. My mind begs my heart To be brave. Far away from life, So close to the grave. My world is consumed in The taste of defeat. I can't even walk on my own Two feet. When I look back, I can see. She was never the woman, She Appeared to be. Turbo1904

The gentle maiden who wouldn't kill a fly. Now, boyfriends, that's a different matter.
