The Mind Raper

He spoke so softly on that day
The day the darkness came my way
Caressed me with words right from the grave
The grave he dug to initially enslave.
He danced in the rain of childhood pain
Then spun a web of utter shame.
The race was on, the prize, all lies
Unknowingly, I was mesmerized.
Who could have thought these things were true
Falling in love with someone I never knew
Pure fiction plays on summer nights
Even fights were woven just so right.
Sucking the sanity through each new breath
Leaving me lifeless with nothing left
Feeding on fears and pounding on sorrow
Whispering words of no more tomorrows.
A Mirror of madness
Master of deception
Distorted my once clear perception.
A fallen solider drenched in blood
Blood from someone who could never love
Blood from someone who could never love!
