Torn and Broken

The predator has become your prey
Elegant movements, part of a complex dance
Somehow you got her to put her claws away
And now her chiseled face is stained with tears

People would have given her their very life
Just to know she would love them back
To feel her touch, like a soulless knife
To try and warm her ice-cold heart

She turned her head from them in disdain
"Do not love me... hate me" she begged
She wandered proud and alone, without pain
Until her path crossed with yours

You stole her heart, poisoned her mind
And slowly she slipped away from her current fling
Never-mind he was your friend, she left it behind
To follow you like the Pied Piper

You twisted her thoughts, and trampled her pride
She came back to you loving it all
She worshipped how bad you made her feel inside
And begged you to just show one true sign

You turned her away once, but she stayed for you
Trying to become her vicious self again
But she lost a part of herself when you said it was through
You shackled her in chains

You proved she had a heart to break and tear
Proved there was a way to gain her trust
You flaunted how you could MAKE her care
But then you tired of her so soon.

She cried bitter tears of regret
Cursed herself for letting you in
How easily would she just forget
If only she could get you out of her life

She stayed around, to show she'd moved on
Meaning only to show her newest prizes
And then she had meant to truly be gone
But somehow her plans fell through

She stayed, you watched two relationships die
Even if she didn't know the reason there was nothing
You knew too well to even pretend to wonder why
As her life fell in shambles around her.

Then you asked her to devote herself once more
She put up no fight to loving you again.
Though it made her feel like a whore,
She gave herself over to you, to break... destroy

Now she hears different words, rumors, and such
People, your annoyed friends, say you could care less
And others, like you, saying you care so much
She's lost herself in her own game.
