Evil My Lover

Okay, EVIL
You have reached out to me
You have touched me, if you will
But what has been your purpose?
You have never made me rich, nor famous
Or tempted me to sell my soul to the devil
Yet I have seen you 3 times
Will I ever know why, you have revealed your presence to me?
At times, I have been in pain
And my soul  has cried out
If you do this for me....
Then I will do your bidding
But you have never given me
What I truly desire...
I am in love
And in pain
With a man who does not love me
Won't you please let me catch him cheating?
Will you let me break the spell
He has put over my heart
Because my love for him is like a poison
An arsenic
And it is slowly and steadily killing me inside
To catch him cheating
Would be like breaking
The glass that encloses my heart
I would no longer be inside looking out
No longer enclosed in a hard walled prison of pain
I'd truly be free
Because cheating has been
The only hammer that has broken
The chains of love that shackles my foot steps
The glass of my heart
When it breaks, may hurt
It may even be cut and bleed
But like the animal caught in a bear trap
I bite viciously and try to amputate
The limb that enslaves me
Will the shackles
Oh, truth
Where is thy freedom?
Oh, pain
Where is thy release?
Unfaithfulness is painful that's true
But betrayal that you can sense, but never see is worse
How can you grieve properly
So, man who is lucky in your cheating games
When will you be unlucky
When will your luck run out
And when will
My freedom begin?
