A BOX OF DARKNESS

A box filled with darkness
Was your parting gift
No hope of a future
Left inside of it.

Wounded, left forsaken
Badly battered , black n blue
You took all that you wanted
I was sadly being used. 

Never doubted, never wondered
Believed everything you said
The lies and all the whispers 
I never will forget .

All the plotting and the planning
When did it all begin?
Seems you had a quest , a motive
Always knew how this would end.

I followed you so willingly
Down a dark, black, rabbit hole
I gave you  my all  I had to give
My body and my soul.

Masterfully done
I would have to agree
You took what you wanted
You took it from me.

A demon disguised
So charming , so shrewd
I was lured into madness
The day I met you.
