I thought I could save you from the your own demons That lingered behind those empty eyes But if I knew then what I know now I should have ran and never looked back As everything felt wrong right from the start The love bomb The mind games The death stares All those were red flags! But I lied to myself I lied to myself that me and you were destined I lied to myself That you were the chosen one, yang to my yin I lied to myself That you were my mirror and I was staring at my reflection But you were just a mirage Putting up a charade while you mimicked me Took down my walls and entrance gain I was so lost then but now I'm found If you ask me I know better now As for you, you'll never find what you're looking for No amount of love on this earthplane can rescue your fallen soul back to light For you need no saving, all you're after is your next source of energy, a chain of supply is what your ego craves. Just know you can hide but never ran Your Mr nice guy masks will soon fall off Everything will lay bare and that void within will show ©Sonia Ettyang
