I See You Now

 
 
 
You walked into my life from I know not where
 
With the opening of that door, you let the light shine in
 
So I see you now for who and what you are
 
A collector, yes a collector of dreams, of emotions, of hearts
 
When firmly in your grasp and the light of love is shining brightly
 
You suddenly grow cold, distant and gone
 
You're gone before you see the devastation and heartache caused
 
Yes, collector, I see you now
 
I see you over and over every day on social media
 
Where you ply your skills, your trade of broken hearts and promises
 
One day you'll meet that perfect woman
 
She'll flatter your ego, make you feel like the man you see in the mirror
 
While teasing you with delicious promises of her devotion, her lust
 
Then when she has you ready to be the fool for love
 
She'll send you a bill for all the broken hearts you've left behind
 
As she grows cold, distant ...gone.
