Blank



I have no heart
you have no soul
you took my love
to manipulate and control

The day we met
was painful and odd
fate made you my family
the reality a facade

Anger ran deep
hatred we bled
time had been lost
to bury among the dead

Who else but you
could hate without reason
lying to the public
was it a felony or treason?

Though far in the past
and the past being now
reality a blur
but forgetting somehow

Now life goes on
with you far away
who were you exactly
or would you rather not say?
