No one ever is.

You make me feel naked
Like there's no place to hide
You saw right through me
When no one else ever tried.

I think that’s what did it
Why I felt it grow
It’s invasive presence
That I was not foretold.  

The parasite that eats me
Spares no thought for my poor organs
It tears me to pieces
Why didn’t you warn me?

It hurts too much
I want it to go!
What in me makes it want to stay?
I don’t get it, make it leave.

I thought you cared about me
I guess I was wrong
Because otherwise you wouldn’t have done this
Infect me with this destructive disease.

That’s the thing about it
It creeps up on you
You need someone to protect you
Or you will be fatally hurt.

So beware of love
For love takes no prisoners
Don’t be fooled
You won’t be an exception.

No one ever is.
