Prey.

Prey.

I craved you, like the predator stalking its prey.
I needed you like the air I breathe.
I loved you with all the passion I could ever feel.

I gave you my all heart and soul.
You gave me nothing.
Why do I try when I know it is nothing but never ending disappointment?
Why do you lie when I know you feel the same?

I will never hold you again, touch your face or see you smile.
I wanted to be enough for you but I guess I fell short, but by whose standards?
Enjoy ripping out my heart; I know your conscience won’t even care.

Trigger Finger.

I had you for myself, like a secret kept from the world.
We were lovers convinced it was forever.
With one unfortunate kiss,
you put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger.
The bullet in my heart.
Shattering the foundations of everything we knew.

Love wasted on a path destined for disaster.
My affections lost, so elegantly bound to your heart.
I’ve become secondary, the ashes of your yesterday.
We could have been the love this century never forgets.
