Someone Once

Silver shone in your eyes  As you handed me over  To the darkness I once ran from  The shadows of loneliness  The gold, the silver, the bronze  In our possession but I fell over  Into the blackness of dark waters.  The waves of security swarmed over me I looked at your face through the waters  Expecting my Superman But you turned the boat  And rowed away into space  The swordfish pierced through my heart  The Octopus stung with its venom  The Croc tore me from limb to limb Leaving a portion of me dinner for Sharks  The gold, the silver and the bronze  Your utmost priority  Not a tear was shed or muscle moved As I vanished into the air of nothingness  The Devil found me And taught me his ways  To be unreceptive to the pains of love  And the gift of a frozen heart  I awaken in my room at dawn  I get off the bed to peer into the mirror  I see a new person  Nobody.
