Tricked

Does this give me an excuse?
Can you see the fury in my eyes?
Don’t you know, I regret
Ever meeting you?

It was a cold trick.
One that proved almost fatal.
You pushed me over the edge.
I hope you crash and burn.
Go ahead and crash on your laughter.

Pain burns deep into me. 
I hide it behind that happy smile.
I really don’t know how to get you
Out of my mind.
But, I swear to God, I’ll find a way.

I don’t care of it means
Death. It will happen. 
We’re all bound for it
When we are born,
Some just sooner than others.

A dark memory rests in me,
One that you’ve left
With it, scarred feelings,
Pain, Love Hate and Lust.

You’ve left a mess.

Better find a way to fix it
Darling.
