Oh darling don't  Give your trust to people  like bits of gum, They'll throw it out Once the flavour's gone And leave you to Contemplate What you thought was 'Meant to be' In dark corners While dark thoughts plague Your already decaying mind And the cold gust of falsity Tickles your arms  And goosebumps appear, Your brain throbs with thoughts  Unexplained Was that real? Or just what he  Feigned? Oh darling don't  Lay your flesh on a silver platter For once it's tasted and prodded, Nothing  Else  Matters They'll scoop out your innards  And watch them fester and rot Finding pleasure in the way, With pain, your face Contorts Oh darling you know It's too good to be true When every time your thoughts Wander, He says he loves you and traps you up in his web again A toy for his every whim But darling the worst happens When the lights are Dimmed When he's content He'll walk out of your life In the dead of night and leave you a note And you'll wake up To a monochrome world And realise all the colours Have been washed away  With the saltiness of your tears And darling you'll never see the world the same way again. ~ZA
