It Wasn't that

I hadn't fallen for your smile

Or your charm, or your laugh

You see, it's that

I can see past your eyes

Into

The demons that lurk

Behind

And even though you 

Try to tame them they

Match you and play you like

An instrument of lies

Of which the notes cut into

My head and heart

Making me want to scream

That I still have feelings and yet

I know

Our monsters would not play well 

Together

And the duet of our souls would leave

A scar on those around us
