Harlequin Shadow

I sit here in confusion
wondering exactly how you felt.
my devotion, you never knew
or chose not to see.
my heart, beating for you,
will never be recognized.

you saw me as a liar, a whore
who toyed with your emotions.
abundantly said you enjoyed my deceptions
but you saw things that were never there.
now i am left bearing your marks, your scars
strategically placed upon my heart.

i am left simply with nothing
as hatred escapes my lungs.
i have been relieved of your pain
but yet i suffer still to endure.
i dwell within the shadows
of your fiendish soul.

a slave, i was, by your hand with this
addiction fed by your inflicted tribulation.
i will agonize always
possessed by your grimacing lust.
to self-mutilate and lash out at others
is a mental humiliation that i cannot control.

grasping to superiority under a verbal breath,
i acknowledge the shaitans in your eyes.
I share the same torment as they have been
transferred to me from your imp soul.
my freedom lies with the key
buried deep in your nightmare heart.

you saw me as a liar
and a whore...

i was neither of those things...

merely a misguided soul...
