Deadly Deception

I don't know what it is about you that makes my blood boil,

yet at the same time makes my knees weak.
Your eyes are gentle yet your hand is so rough.
Your face is as sweet as a Angel, yet your temper as mean as the Devil.
From that first look you had me so intrigued.
I was yours when you flashed that smile at me;
you had me right where you wanted me and you knew it.
People thought you were sweet as roses
but you were really rough as thorns,
pretty to look at but hurtful to touch. 
I'd soon find out that you're a deadly deception.

You were a mystery I wanted so badly to solve.
I injected myself into the investigation of you,
but I ended up being a part of the crime scene.
The first months were like a fairy tale,
like I was living a dream; it was unbelievable. 
I thought I didn't deserve you; you were too good to me.
Eventually you started acting different towards me.
I felt as though I was just bothering you all the time.
There was no spark anymore, no excitement, only fear.

Here we go, we're burning up in flames.
Nothing's gonna slow us down, nothing's gonna burn us out.
You remember everything, that's what makes you dangerous.
Now I'm seeing we weren't meant to be together but you won't let us be apart.
The first couple hits hurt like nothing I've ever felt before.
I couldn't understand what I did wrong.
Everything became my fault and eventually I accepted that. 
With each hit I became more numb until I couldn't feel anything at all.
After time, the hits became black and blue.
When one disappeared there were two more taking its place.
I finally graduated from black and blue to red. 
Never in the face though, that was to obvious.
Finally I just gave up; I became your hopeless slave.
You always said I'd look good in white chalk,
when I tried to leave you made it happen.

I saw myself lying on your floor, my lifeless corpse. 
Why was it only then I got the strength to leave you?
I lost myself in you; I gave you all that I had!
You took everything until you couldn't take any more from me.
You left me on the floor all alone and you walked out. 
My lifeless body was as cold as your heart.

I loved your comparisons, such as Angel to Devil and black to red. Your transition from each stanza connected smoothly, which made me feel really into the poem, if that makes sense? Also...
"From that first look you had me so intrigued"
Were you referring to your readers? Because the first LINE of the poem had me intrigued xD

(Finally, this may have been just a typo, but in the "When one disappeared there were two more taking it's place", the "it's" should be "its". Overall, however, I absolutely adore this poem and am extremely excited to read more!)

I really like how to did the opposite like the angel and devil, gentle and ruff etc. I enjoyed reading this.
