Connection

Did you find what you were looking for
when you broke down my protection?

Was betrayal worth the cost
to squander my affection?

Trust broken, when you failed me
but planted was the seed

You carved into my soul
to simply watch me bleed

Reckless disregard for life
ominous manipulation

Preparing for my demise
aware of your temptation

My superficial, fickle friend
you thought you’d won the war

But connection the stronger player
and I was keeping score
