My Pretty Little Demon

That fairytale...the kind that you would get burned by over and over again

I once met a man…

He was chivalrous and handsome.

 

His somberness was striking

And his questions thought-provoking.

 

He had a thing for women…

This, I cant deny.

But he also had a thing for beauty

And for holding me as I cried

 

He caressed my spirit

He got into my mind

 

He showed me all the things

That I didn’t know I’d find

 

He played me like an instrument

And left beautiful scars upon my heart

The way he chose to think

Left me feeling high as I fell apart.

 

I once knew a man

In all his elegance and regret

 

He got to me on purpose…

Knowing I needed him before we ever met

 

He made love to me like no other

He fucked away the pain

He made me feel untouchable

Until I knew it had to end

 

But even though his dysfunctional glory

Would be the end of us…

 

The way he loved me purposefully,

Left nothing to be discussed.

 

I once loved a man…

His spirit touched my soul

The kind of touch I shouldn’t miss

But the one that made sense of it all

Author's Note

Not near what I wanted it to be... but very real for me. No way to come up with the perfect symphony of words to describe things the way I wanted to. Any suggestions are more then welcome!

"But even though his dysfunctional glory/would be the end of us."

As a man who has made the mistake of putting too much effort into how I made a woman feel, vs how I made her heal... that line was particularly poignant to me. Well done here!

i love how you telling a story and also discribing someone who hurt you but in the process taught and gave you something you will never forget.

He played me like an instrument
And left beautiful scars upon my heart
The way he chose to think
Left me feeling high as I fell apart.

This piece needs nothing added or edited. It's raw and written nakedly... pure honesty. It shows that we have needs and necessary evils are part of life, even if just for the memories in the future. Nothing lasts forever, but the memories live on.

This was hot. I think I had the same experience with a woman, indeed.
