He knew what you were to him…
Nothing more and nothing less…
A single beacon of shining light…
In a dark ocean full of stress…
You were there when it mattered…
In the right place at the right time…
Offering the hand of friendship…
Throwing him a slender lifeline…
Someone who he could turn to…
Independently listening to his pain…
But who never sat in judgement…
With seemingly nothing to gain…
And as the months went by…
The levels of trust slowly escalated…
He felt he could tell you anything…
Without feeling so humiliated…
Disclosing all his dark secrets…
Exposing all his hidden sins…
Things he’d never told anybody…
That’s how deep he let you in…
But his mind was so fragile…
He was not thinking straight…
He began to fall deep so quickly…
As your eyes began to captivate…
You entered all his dark dreams…
And he started to fantasise…
That you could be together…
A thought that tantalized…
But poisoned your relationship…
From the second you kissed back…
Leaving him in a lustful daze…
Unaware he’d walked into your trap…
Into your spider’s web of deceit…
A labyrinth of devious white lies…
Not realising all you’d said to him…
Was just part of your disguise…
And he never saw it coming…
It was a cleverly constructed sham…
As you were never just a shoulder…
And deception was all part of the plan…
