You Lonely Soul.

You Lonely Soul.

A Poem by Mel <3
"

When he turned his back on me for that s**t and then paid the price, this is my vengeful song...

"
Young man
You thought you had me
Wrapped around your finger
Connected to your life

My mastermind
You wanted me to stay with you
Always and forevermore
Your slave, your muse, your secret

I was your possession
Your fueled, raging obsession
Never to love anyone else
No one except yourself

I was your soothing paramour
And I know I said "I love you"
But then one day you told me
"I'm still in love with her..."

Well, of course I wasn't happy
I had never felt so used
For you to tell me you love her?
I was distraught and abused

Oh wait, what did she do?
Did she turn and walk away from you?

You're not a man anymore
Actually, you never were
You're just a boy, a stupid boy
The most foolish one of all

I warned you before, she's not worth it
I told you she was a little witch
But did you listen to me?  No!
And now I no longer love you
You lonely soul

Look at yourself now
Nothing but a shadow of your former self
You gave up everything for her
And in return, she punished you

Remember when I said she was cruel?
She's always going to hurt you
Let her go before you wither
Before she makes you bitter

At the beginning of the crossroads
You should have chosen me
I would have been your lover
I would have been your everything

But it's too late (oh so late)
Because now the love is gone...

You're not a man anymore
Actually, you never were
You're just a boy, a stupid boy
The most foolish one of all

I warned you before, she's not worth it
I told you she was a little witch
But did you listen to me?  No!
And now I no longer love you
You lonely soul

I won't be discouraged
I won't be erased
You don't control me anymore
My heart is back in my hands

From the start, I was the better girl
I was the perfect choice
You were a fool to play with me
And now you're all alone...

(All alone...  all alone...)

You're not a man anymore
Actually, you never were
You're just a boy, a stupid boy
The most foolish one of all

I warned you before, she's not worth it
I told you she was a little witch
But did you listen to me?  No!
And now I no longer love you
You lonely soul

Kiss me goodbye
You'll never have me

You lonely soul

Author's Note

Mel <3
My ex-boyfriend-- we were just friends at this time-- had just been cheated on by his girlfriend. He'd been cheated on twice by her. Every time we talked to each other, he was feeling discouraged and hurt. Many things reminded him of her. As much as I tried to cheer him up and help him move on, he was still stuck in the past with her on his mind. There was one night where he said he just wanted to die.

I was so scared that I kept telling him not to kill himself, trying to encourage him to be strong and keep fighting for his life. I even told him "I love you" and meant it. He didn't respond to that and he allowed himself to get away for the night. Meanwhile, I had to be put on crisis watch by one of my closest friends because I was so upset.

So several days pass and slowly but surely he was feeling alright again. He just got a new job, the pay was nice, and life was getting better. I was so happy for him-- I was taking care of him every second I could because my heart felt for him.

And then one night, he tells me "I'm still in love with her..."

I was completely torn. Hurt. Devastated. After telling him my feelings, he turns me down and goes back to her, a slave without a mind of his own. No, no, he does have a mind of his own. He's just stupid, a stupid boy. I cut off our relationship immediately, but I started to resent myself for being so incompetent and foolish...

I was still in love with him. That is, until I learned to let him go and let him burn. Bad karma would get him eventually, and just recently, it did! I learned that after he quit his job and he moved out to be with her, SHE DUMPED HIM. I warned him, but he didn't listen! Now he's a miserable piece of trash, wandering the Earth with nowhere to go except down.

Good riddance.

So here I present you with this song based on that story. I poured my heart into it, so please enjoy it! :)

Lyrics (c) Me.
