Devil's Snare

Rating: 5.0


To be with you is to be with him.
I cannot escape his influence.
He taunts me with his knowledge
And tortures me with your heart.
I try to run away
But you won't let me part.
You hold me tight
Claiming I am safe.
You tell me it's okay and that
I'll smile another day.
I don't what I should believe-
I'm confused by what I feel.
All I know is I'm here with you.
Wishing he'd go away.

Here, with you,
Trust is formed.
Here, with you,
Love is born.
Here, with you,
I feel no fear.
Here, with you,
I cry no tears.

Poetic thoughts cross my mind
Scurrying through the crevices of time.
I feel your arms around me
I feel your heart beating quickly.
Your warmth sends me back.
Back to times unwanted.
Back to the times of fear.
It sends me back to him.
All the way back to those days.
Those days of old.
To the days of pain.
You smile and whisper in my ear
'Everything is fine,
I'm here'.

Here, with you,
Trust is formed.
Here, with you,
Love is born.
Here, with you,
I feel no fear.
Here, with you,
I cry no tears.

While I am here.
With you.
Remembering him.
I feel my soul break.
My heart is shattering.
If only I could experience hate.
But I can't.
You remind me of the good
It doesn't matter how lost I am
My heart takes me where I should.
Which is with you.
No. It's away from him.
Away from these feelings that haunt me.
Even whilst I'm with you.

Here, with you,
Trust is formed.
Here, with you,
Love is born.
Here, with you,
I feel no fear.
Here, with you,
I cry no tears.

Still, I cannot run fast enough
To escape his careless smile.
Every time I close my eyes
There he is
Without having to try.
It follows me through happiness
Never ceasing to send me to sadness.
I can't get him out.
Even with you next to me
He laughs in my face.
No matter how hard I try
I can't get him out of my mind.
I run to be with you,
To be hidden from him.

Here, with you,
Trust is formed.
Here, with you,
Love is born.
Here, with you,
I feel no fear.
Here, with you,
I cry no tears.
