The Exception...

Your words contained a poison…
Laced with pure insanity…
They circled around in my head…
Destroying all that’s left of my vanity…
Like weapons of mass destruction…
Each word so carefully aimed…
Leaving me broke and beaten…
At the very mention of your name…
As you used to be an exception…
But over time you became a regret…
A sadness infecting my sunshine…
That was impossible to forget…
The rainbow’s black outer edge…
And the flowers fallen petal…
The whisper in the darkness…
Like rust that attacks the metal…
Because when rules are broken…
The consequences are real…
Both heart and mind get broken…
It’s all part of the Devil’s deal…
And the inevitable painful ending…
Was over before it really begun…
As where once there was distraction…
All that’s left just feels numb…
Leaving me with just one option…
To find a way to finally escape…
Find energy to start all over again…
In some guilty free landscape…
A place where no one knows me…
Where the past can be left behind…
Where I can begin to start living…
And there is nothing there to remind…
The way your eyes looked at me…
And the deception in your soul…
That swept me into a fantasy…
Where you were in full control…
And leave the ghost of you to fade…
My demons fully exorcised…
Knowing that one day I’ll forget…
How you tormented and you lied…
