Nightmare: The Tragic Lover

In the silence
I can hear the lyrics
Of my mind's awareness

You're hidden from the world
Only to be known by me

My fate is foretold
You're the end that I wait to see

-
The remnants of rust consume
The taint covering my heart seeps through
I am dying from a cancer that was caused by you

All it took was a wound
From the kiss that would seal it soon
I just wish that I could take you down too

From something so blissful / Bore a mask of deceit
I remain so resentful / I don't know what to believe

A being that could damage / A feeling that could heal
You pushed me over the edge / You made me wish it was real


I find myself pathetic
That you were just an anesthetic
I used you until you fulfilled your purpose

Now I don't know who the real monster is
What have we really become of this?
One whose heartless and the other is painless

-
These dark mirrors
Are the protective barriers
Of the true lies of one another

You were my angelic desire
A hope that I held dearly

You were a demon that could devour
A love that ended tragically
All fantasies end in tragedy
Yours must have been meant for me
