He viewed her as no more than self-gain
Pretending it was love
But never experiencing more than lustĀ
Never feeling remorse
For inflicting her with such pain.Ā
Ā
All the life in her, he chose to drain
He wore a facadeĀ
A vampire in an angels clothĀ
He sucked away all of her energy
While pretending to give her lifeĀ
He viewed her as no more than self-gain.Ā
Ā
She was as human as they cameĀ
With a glowing soul, an intelligent brainĀ
But he chose to see only her appearanceĀ
A skinny body with a pretty faceĀ
A trophy to gloat about in diners and at bars
Because he saw an object, where a human stoodĀ
He never felt remorseĀ
For inflicting her with such pain.Ā
Ā
He appeared as selfless, but was an extension of vainĀ
He cared more for himselfĀ
And terminated anyone who got in his way
He was a destructive forceĀ
But always remained suave in his words
His smile manipulated millionsĀ
He fooled her into loving him butĀ
He viewed her as no more than self-gain.Ā
Ā
But since she was as human as they came,Ā
Forever kind with an intelligent brainĀ
She grew from his destructionĀ
And left him in the dustĀ
He broke her to shreds
But she refused to quitĀ
She conquered the devil whoĀ
Viewed her as no more than self-gainĀ
And never felt remorseĀ
For inflicting her with such pain.Ā
