He was sapphire

And I was gold;

His eyes could send a thousand

Messages from afar;

He looked so trusting

I shared all my fears with him

I was a moth drawn to his flame

And he had the power to burn me

All with just one look

I was the puppeteer

He was the one pulling the strings;

They say ignorance is bliss

But nothing can kill you

Faster than a heart that lyingly deceives...

I finally see you for who you are

A two-faced deceiver

Not caring who you hurt

But I know one day

You are going to get burned

Maybe, not by me

Someone who could play

Your heartstrings like you do

You have taught me a lesson

To never trust so easily;

But for now, I am happy

To be a survivor

To be the one who got away... 💖
