Hopeless Romantic

Fell to love's dark embrace
The glint in its eye
Was irresistable
Yet full of malice
However nothing kept me from being
Engulfed in its stomach
Digesting me
And letting me
Fall to pieces

It's more like
Watching your heart being eaten away
Yet wanting to give itself to someone
Who will never cherish it
Hold it tight

Almost like
Kissing in the rain
But the person being a one-night stand
Instead of a lover
And them taking everything from you
And you're left
Naked, alone

Kind of like
Experiencing withdrawal
From a drug that has you hooked
On a leash, whispering,
'You're mine forever,
You can't escape.'

Nothing like
Holding them in your embrace
Passion slithering on your skin
Lust smiling, watching, pulling strings
Keys of the heart locking you both together
Knowledge whispering, 'You're safe.'

Sort of like
Knowing Death is near
Calling your name
Making you shiver, rigid
Completely aware
Of its intent

Probably like
Crying over a lost pet
But thinking the pet
Cared for you
To it, you were simply a servant
Paying it attention
Serving it food
And it watches you
Like a master

Definitely like
A parent walking out on you
A sibling falsely caring for you
A friend betraying you
A child running away from you

Exactly like
How I feel
