Seeing Red

[AllisonWonderland]

Seeing Red

 

No matter what you promised 

I’ll never go away 

I’ll find my way back to if life falls in disarray 

 

You told me I was beautiful 

Enough that I believed 

Said you would fix my brokenness

That with you I would find relief 

 

You stripped me down till I was bare 

And fed me back desire 

I trusted you as you led me 

Blindfolded through the fire 

 

I want to own your every thought 

Control you when you come 

I gave it to you willingly 

Like a good girl I’d come undone 

 

One day the fire that warmed me

Fizzled embers gray and bleak

Each day I would return

My hope slowly getting weak 

 

One day no warning the message came 

A severed chord you returned 

As much as it hurt to read it 

I understood and didn’t feel burned 

 

You took from me with no regard 

To all that I laid bare

And here you are flitting about 

In disbelief I stare 

 

We said we’d be amicable 

Whenever we would part 

And since I made that promise

 I’ll honor it cross my heart 

 

Know that I see you 

And I’m quite confused

 Because silly me I thought 

You spoke words filled with truth
 

Well Hunter you have hurt me

rather deep I’m ashamed to admit 

 The way you made me feel before 

has degraded into shit.
