Stranger
Sometimes when we are together
I see the darkness in your eyes
I feel a terrifying presence
It is like you have died and
An evil entity has invaded your body
When this monster takes over
You act like you have no heart
It seems you even forget
That you love me or
That I love you
I am no longer sweet and
Devoted in your eyes
Your paranoid delusions
Tell you I am the enemy
So you unleash your weapon
Your acidic words
That attack my heart
Your tongue causes
So many lonely tears
To run down my face
I don't know this person
That I am talking to now
He is a stranger to me
I have no voice anymore
I am not a woman anymore
Not when I am with you
I am a naive child
With no opinion of her own
Inner thoughts and feelings
Are better kept to myself
Defensive to the end
You will make me pay
For expressing a feeling
That does not compliment you
He is a stranger to me
Fear consumes me
Every time we meet
It is like every day is
Halloween with you
You are always in disguise
You masquerade as
So many different men
I sometimes wonder if
I have ever met the real you
Or have I been loving a stranger?
