Haunted by dreams that never were, Plagued by your existence. Once I was lost in you, Naive to think it was true. You Burned yourself into my heart, Infecting my very core. Just to leave me stranded, As you laughed at my despair. A demon in disguise you were, Only there to cause pain and sorrow. Years may have gone by, And yet you affect me still. A curse upon my life, Making it trying for new love to grow. But blossom that love did, Despite the way you left me. Even now it strengthens me, Overcoming what you destroyed.
