Starting with the definition of nothing
And moving onto to something less
Feeling emptiness is only the beginning
There’s a feeling even worse

I hear her purr, but it’s not for me
Jealousy boils within, but that’s not for me
There is far more to her than any eye can see
Even when she looks inside herself
The shadows and silhouettes of demons
Are all that she ever sees

Doing her best to satisfy her demons
Satiate their appetites of lust
On her own after years of shattered trust
There is so much beauty amazing
Under that blackened emotional rust

Her mysterious, curious gaze
A light about her slender frame
Cutting through the thickest haze
Her precious brown locks
Frame her pretty face

You see on her face a smile
But behind it is confusion and haste
Always in a hurry to figure out what
She is supposed to do next

I’ve read her eyes
Seen no life in them
Her body may be warm
But her soul is cold
And her heart is stone
Her pheromones contagious
Men are heartbreak prone
To her wild emotions outrageous

Animal passions
No place for compassion
What you’d expect
You got the opposite reaction
Feeling ignored, truly so
Critical analytical mind
Picking out all your flaws
Spitting them back at you
Without any true remorse

Always deeply affected
No one can forget her face
She is a scar on the memory
And a scar on the heart
Once you discover how deep she is
You never really pull yourself back out
