Stolen Soul



You stumbled in, with deceit
A snarky smirk, told me you were with her
You lied next to me
Stole my energy

Told me, what I wanted to hear
But, your actions treated me
like a piece of trash
Crushed my hopes
I'm your stolen soul

Broken and weak,
I couldn't see
What was being done to me
You've tried everything to keep me
In sync
As you poured your disease onto me
I wanted to be your everything
But...
I couldn't be her from the night before
I could smell her, but I ignored
So, I let you pour your disease onto me

A Wasteland land you created
Told me what I wanted to hear
Your actions treated me
like a piece of trash
You left me in solitude
While,
You crushed me
I'm your stolen soul

    A treatment not deserved is how I see this. And words spoken to cheat, deceive, or trick. Just move on and forget. This is the advice given. The person is not worthy of all that trouble.
