Parasite

      Love is a lie, don’t believe it
Love left me broken and beaten down
Love left me in the darkness, I walked
Crowded streets but it was like a ghost town

The people were invisible or was it me
I could feel the burning fire of Hell
Even when the clouds followed me
And the rain constantly fell

I was always told that love was wonderful
Love was bliss and ecstasy
So when I fell in love I had great expectations
Of a love like a fairytale fantasy

So explain it to me, I need to know
Is this a lesson we all need to learn
Because I don’t understand why
Love hurts or why it has to burn

Why my love was a leech
Why was it evil and why did it bite
Why does the pain linger in my
Heart, like it’s the host of a parasite
