Sociopathic Love

Sociopathic Love Don't worry before He’s done with you; He‘ll ravage you Not just physically but through his words both twisted and firm If you could only accept that he decides when the game ends; You'd realize an escape is just as much of an illusion as the man you think you know Nothing can save you from this game The lies will roll off his chameleon tongue as he reflects everything you've shown him He’ll pour metaphors filled with an elusive pitch; deep inside the intimate spaces that fill your head He'll patiently watch your every move As you squirm with denial and try to claw your way past the anger Just as you desperately try bargaining for release He’ll watch you drowned in hopelessness, lost without the reflection you saw in him It's a game you won't even realize you've been playing until he decides it's over He'll know every piece of you by then Especially the pieces he easily replaced well you were mesmerized in your own reflection He’ll move on to his next prey soon and only then will you'll start to awaken He thinks you'll never find all the pieces he planted; you'll never be whole without him As his eyes trace the contours of your acceptance He’ll know at the precise moment he's broken you As he watches your will bend pliantly to his Making you just another possession he never really wanted Then he’ll finally release you out of boredom Leaving you lost without the mirror you helped him create Wondering why the piece’s you're picking up won’t fit back together the way they once did It’s then you’ll realize that he never knew how to love He’s found his pleasure in the games he plays Pleasure that calms the jealousy he holds against the emotions that he's unable to feel Allowing him to walk away without remorse; leaving his victim in their darkest moment He's become bored with the people that surround him and confused by his own existence To him love is only a game used to occupy time Whenever he decides the time is right it's simple Game Over
