Him

Filled with a myriad of emotions

At the sound of one name

Because of his manipulation

Making you play his little game

 

Changing the person I know

The one you truly are

Causing endless heartache and woe

Doing nothing but scar

 

He makes the rules

Convinces you to play along

Making you the fool

Creating doubt about where you belong

 

Feeling worthless

Upset and let down

Building a mess

For when he's not around

 

Failing over and over again

Constantly persevering

To put in action his plan

Of being domineering

 

All those sweet words

Along with those gestures

Are only birds

Ones without feathers

 

Responsibility fleeting

No need to "do"

Indolence repeating

Because your feelings you let him chew

 

Chew them up

Spit them out

Your feelings he does snub

Leaving you in a drought

 

I fear his presence alone

His very being

Me you will stone

Until I am fleeing

 

He is bad for you

Even for himself

Your feelings he will strew

Leaving you with only yourself

 

He keeps you in waiting

Making things his way

The evils should be grating

For with your feelings he does play
