The Unwelcome Savior

You will find that some of the most exquisite eyes

Mask the cruellest secrets

A villainess in a goddess disguise

I grew to easily distinguish your lies

Your glossy, sincere smile, always too eager to please

Everything good, everything hopeful that you ever said

An obvious falsity, another loss of innocence

The only truths you’d rarely let escape

Horrifying enough to chill even the most shadowed soul

You fucked up everybody’s life you touched

How’s that for an accomplishment?

“Surprise! I made you this exclusive key to my closet.”

Well I never asked to see your skeletons.

How many crimes did you commit, guiltless and without mercy

Before you realized you longed to be caught?

In a way, I think you knew your secrets

Would break me and I’d confess for you

If you had played this desperate game more cunningly

Everything good, everything hopeful that you ever said

An obvious falsity, another loss of innocence

The only truths you’d rarely let escape

Horrifying enough to chill even the most shadowed soul

You fucked up everybody’s life you touched

How’s that for an accomplishment?

“Surprise! I made you this exclusive key to my closet.”

Well I never asked to see your skeletons.

I could have been your prisoner, your protégé, or your slave

But you succumbed to jealousy, an imaginary rivalry

You’d never admit it, who could possibly rival a queen?

But that’s not at all what I mean

I’d never pit myself against you

You’re right I’m sick with terror

At the thought of being compared to you

But not because I think I’d lose

My one worst fear

Is to become anything like you.
