For the Damned, Elusive, Charmer
I don’t understand.
 Why you did this to me
 I can’t comprehend.
 Why my eyes did not see.
 
 You’re a liar and a thief.
 You are evil in flesh!
 I hate your sorry soul - 
 How our hearts did enmesh.
 
 I gave you my heart.
 And you let me believe,
 You were my perfect man.
 I was stupid, naïve. 
 
 I came to your side 
 For advice every day.
 I longed for your words,
 For my trouble to allay.
 
 But now I know the truth!
 That the man I once knew
 Is not who you are,
 Just an act you debut.
 
 And now, knowing this,
 My heart loves no more.
 I have wasted my youth
 On a man I abhor. 
 
 And now, knowing this,
 My ears hear no more,
 The lies that you spun
 And the truth that you tore.
 
 And now, knowing this,
 My eyes see no more,
 That face, so deceptive 
 Seems now, like a boar.
 
 And now, knowing this,
 My hands feel no more,
 The man that oozed falsity
 Whom I deemed my savior. 
 
 And now, knowing this,
 My soul longs no more
 For the damned, elusive, charmer
 That I learned to adore. 
 
 But still, knowing this
 My childish heart ever longs
 For that time of which you told, 
 When in your arms, I’d belong.   
 
 But still, knowing this,
 My childish heart ever yearns, 
 For that land where you said, 
 We would dream and sojourn.   
 
 But still, knowing this,
 My childish heart ever bleeds
 For that child we’d have raised,
 All our hopes he’d exceed. 
 
 But still, knowing this,
 My childish heart ever cries
 For that home in the green
 Where our fears would remise. 
 
 But still, knowing this,
 My childish heart ever screams
 For that day that I thought
 You’d fulfill all my dreams. 
 
 But now I know the truth!
 You are not who you say 
 While my soul does imbue
 You still live another day.
 
 Another day in this world
 Another girl to bewitch 
 Another soul to enslave
 Another body to make flitch. 
 
 You’re a liar and a thief.
 You are evil in flesh! 
 I hate your sorry soul,
 From my life, you I thresh!
