He never was yours…
Despite anything he said…
His lies filled the silence…
Just fucking with your head…
He sucked on your soul…
Like a vampire sucking blood…
He drained your emotions…
Whilst feasting on the flood…
Because the boy had a heart…
Which loved two things…
The twisted demon’s darkness…
And the angel’s white wings…
You were caught in between…
The push and the pull…
Forwards then backwards…
Till your poor head was full…
And it left you spinning…
Around and around…
Never quite knowing…
Feet never on firm ground…
One moment you felt special…
The next you felt used…
An emotional roller-coaster…
That was designed to confuse…
As he chased distraction…
And the excitement it brings…
Which made him feel alive…
Made his distorted soul sing…
He craved sinful electricity…
And your safety never compared…
But he needed both to live…
That’s why he wasn’t prepared…
To commit to you completely…
And live just half a life…
He took the best of both worlds…
Danced on the edge of the knife…
Never really telling the truth…
Never caring that you cried…
And though you never gave up hope…
You were always second prize…
