Thanks

Hey thanks
For helping me to realize
That what I thought was connection
Were just tales and lies

Like a thief in the night
You stole away my heart
Behind your serpentine smile
You’ve made my longing your art.

So thanks
Because now I know I’m alone
Perhaps this is what you needed most
So your pain could be atoned.

But I am not such a fool
To fall for this silly game
For I can see right through you
And call you by your rightful name

And thanks
I’d rather be alone than pine
For the love that you tease me with,
Which will never, ever be mine.
