Lost Boy

.·:*⍕⍢⍕¨*:·.  
 
Lost boy, tell me...  
 
Did you really believe...?  
 
Or did you just dream...?  
 
Continuing to see things as they seem.  
 
 
 
Oh, Lost boy, I laugh at you  
 
How could such things ever be true?  
 
This world is filled with liars, and cheats  
 
And when pain comes, we all retreat.  
 
 
Go ahead, accuse me, I don’t care  
 
I know of your lies, I’ve been aware  
 
It’s my skill, my own personal art  
 
To see through others, then rip them apart  
 
 
You saw my halo, came to me as your savior.  
 
Baby, those were horns, I’m a manipulator  
 
Don’t for a second, think I’d save you, lost boy  
 
You were nothing, a mere toy  
 
Congrats, at a failed test  
 
You proved you’re no different from the rest  
 
It’s alright though, I’m sure you tried your best  
 
But fortunately, I could see through your BS  
 
 
I cared for two beautiful people only  
 
They dragged me out of darkness when I was lonely  
 
They’re the reason I exist  
 
Without them, I’d still be on deaths list  
 
 
Lost boy, you thought you’d win me over, then do me dirty  
 
But in the end, you’re just another lost boy, you weren’t worthy  
 
You called me love, with the occasional sir  
 
But “my lover” was not a title you’d ever deserve  
 
 
Now run along, lost boy, to Neverland  
 
I hope you take some time to think as your feet hit the sand  
 
Have fun with your lovers, go play pretend  
 
But I hope one day, they too see through you, and understand  
 
That you aren’t someone with whom they should want to hold hands.
