Darkness, Chaos and Lies
I was naïve, lost in the thrill,
His baby, his sweetheart, his Hun, until
The truth unveiled my heart undone,
Deceit was the thread, my downfall began.
My heart, a puppet on his string,
He brought only darkness, chaos, and lies.
He took my heart, squandered my wealth,
Roaming the streets, seeking life’s breath.
His love was a lie, just sweet deceit,
Intoxication was his only creed.
Curse, curse, curse!
His words, explicit and coarse,
The paralanguage, love’s tragic course.
Loving him brought burdens to bear,
Fed up with the fight, the disrespect, I declare.
He used me, left me broken and my spirit poor,
Never any sympathy for the tears I bore.
His heart, a void of darkness and deceit,
Filled with chaos, lies, and defeat.
