Sinner

by Maria   Jun 28, 2012


His bittersweet smile, his shiny eyes
his hollow words, and fake promises
the way he looked at me, breathtaking
I couldn't resist, I knew it wasn't right
he captured my heart, it skipped a beat
I was sure he wouldn't let go of it
his lips so kissable, he touched mine
I leaned in to kiss him, he disappeared
hopeless as I was, I tried to climb the highest hill
heard him whispering as he came out of the dark
he walked towards me but stopped
''Follow me'' he said and took my hand
but I pulled back and turned away
his smile faded, his eyes were asking why
I knew he was a sinner, maybe a killer
he killed my dreams, he broke my heart
I didn't remember but somehow I knew
Wouldn't let myself fall for him
I knew it wasn't right
He was just a beautiful shadow
a reminder of what's left inside me
an angelic ghost that wanted to trap me
I wouldn't follow, I wouldn't believe in his sight
He wasn't really there, he never were
My heart told me I should stop listening to my mind
Why would I ever want to touch his thorns?
Why would I ever want to taste his poison?
I knew what rejection felt like,
betrayal was near, I could feel it
but he was just too beautiful to ignore.

Stranger, you've stolen my heart
Stranger, I can't feel you around me anymore
Stranger, I need your presence to tell me I'm alive
Stranger, if you won't show yourself, I don't want to be yours
Stranger, if you didn't want me, why did you fool me?
oh stranger, who are you really?

    Loneliness ensnares the spirit. Where offense is found, Love is found.

    Nice I liked the ending, reminded me of a passionate desire that gets crushed.

    For the one who pulls away masks.
