When we met
you set on fire
as you kissed me
from above.
When we met
you were a liar
and convinced me
of your love.
When I slept
with that imposter
he was always
underhand.
When we met
you were a monster
but I didn’t
understand.
I couldn’t see
the truth
inside deceptive
aching flame.
You couldn’t keep
the proof
of my perspective
from your shame.
A shame
that only blizzards slayed
me tragic
in your eyes.
Like a game
that only wizards play
your magic
was a lie.
I don’t regret
the level
where you spurned me
with your spell.
When we met
you were the devil
and you burned me
with your Hell.
The fire
left its mark
and I’m now
forever changed.
And required
hefty spark
has left me now
deranged.
For now
I understand
but I’m haunted
by the squandered.
For now
you are a man
but I only want
the monster.
