Him

Him
 
Who’s the man behind those vacant brown eyes?
Do you think could he be the devil in disguise?
 
He cries nothing but crocodile tears
He stokes the fire to all of your fears
 
He was always a lost and lonely child
And now his temper has grown wild
 
By night he haunts your peaceful dreams
He is in your every nightmare so it seems
 
He is the raging storm in your quiet oasis
His many allegations have no truth or basis
 
You are the sunshine and he is the rain
He leaves you to wallow in your pain
 
He comes into the house slamming the door
Your delicate heart lies in pieces on the floor
 
His heart has a penchant for being greedy
He will tell you that you’re constantly needy
 
Am constantly waiting for him to tear it down
As your castle lay in pieces on the ground
 
For he is truly the king of mixed emotion
He is the storm across the calm ocean
 
His love leaves you with a burning fever
He is nothing but one masterful deceiver
 
Don’t know why you have such feelings for him
To allow him to love you would be a sin
 
Dance with the devil you’re gonna  get burned
That’s a lesson that you should have learned
 
Don’t you think you would be better off apart
Take back your freedom and reclaim your heart
