Analysis of The abuser
Aye, the crowning fool
The court jester that commits the grievous crime
Or yet…the chameleon
The thief in the night or even master of disguise
A stolen heart
At first is no sin
But, with treachery
Yet, I begin to set motion in
None other shall ever have you
But, locked towers or dungeons dank
I say I love you
But, neither shall be ransomed offers made
Yet, with no intents of repentance
Whispers call me "The Killing King"
You can send in your Romeos
And many of your whitest knights may you bring
With their lofty aspirations, the slayers of black dragons
But, tis night they shall be slayed
As they come in rescue of a damsel
Where at my feet she now lay
You are mine
And your tortured soul I own to keep
A will that is shattered glass
My victory is all but bitter sweet
Alas, a prison without the walls
I dare you to run or to escape
Hah! You woman through a fear
Has learned that this here... is now your place!
