you were my king

the holy being of my heart's desires
i cherished the ground you walked
as if you could lead me to my salvation

you were my religion

your words, your persuasions
were my bible
i followed you blindly
as if you were the answer to my prayers

you were my destiny

your actions had meaning
signs from above
leading me to the life i was meant to live

but you were none of those things

you were just a boy
with kind eyes and a charming smile

you were not my god
but a trojan horse
seemingly perfect, but hollow inside
