How could I have been so wrong?
The whole time, I just was a puppet you were stringing along.
Its hard to accept that your blissfull kisses, and salacious eyes were just cruel lies.
You were my everything, but she-devils have hearts of stone.
I guess thieving she-devils also have no pride, under the cover of darkness you did hide, while I was asleep at your side.
Was it out of spite or delight that you slid away in the middle of the night?
My hopes and dreams are what you stole.
To be loyal was your toll, you were always in control.
I never saw it coming, slowly succumbing to your grand plan.
A blind, gullible man, who will always wear your brand.
As hard as I try, there's just no way to deny and hold my head high.
I'm forever destined to be lost, unwanted and unknown.
Left to roam alone, and reminisce in our past home.

nor have I ever been
Do not mistake me,
I am but one of many men
I care not to know you
Nor do I need your
