Deception From Inception

He finds you

And blinds you

With dark magic

Showers you with attention

Undying affection

But what are his intentions

When he mentions

A future so bright

Despite

The fact you had just met

Yet

He intensely pursues

And slyly subdues

Your mind and soul

To harness control

Masquerading as a soulmate

But just wait

He suddenly changes his beat

Pulls the rug out from under your feet

In this new song

Everything you do is wrong

You sob, longing to know

Where did the love go

Confused and sad

Grappling for what you once had

Missing his warm acclaim

Wanting to rekindle the flame

But instead, it gets worse

With each verse

Never gets better

You become a permanent debtor

Used, devalued, and abused

Emotionally fused

To your captor

He discards you in the final chapter

Then hoovers you back in

He is under your skin

You forgive

Only to relive

The nightmare

You’re right back where you were

Everything becomes a blur

He is no longer your white knight

But rather a parasite

Hungry for supply

Sucking you dry

‘Til you’re empty and weak

Life becomes bleak

Heart battered and bruised

Playing a game you always lose

Find the strength to leave

Let go, grieve

Don’t text, don’t call

Be done, once and for all

Love shouldn’t feel like war

You truly deserve so much more
