Deceiver of Fools

I cut myself open just so you can watch me bleed,
But with a look of disgust in your eyes, you tell me:
A selfish, over-dramatic girl is the last thing you need;
So you hold me up on this thread, a heart so free --

I guess love is what I wanted right from the very start,
But all that you gave me is a reason to tear myself down;
So I carve myself out -- starting with my broken heart,
Crying myself a pretty black river to jump in and drown.

They told me to let you go, move on to a new pretty boy;
But my gaze is set on you, with a look of fury in your eyes;
And I breathe in, I breathe out; waiting for you to destroy --
Tear down everything I once lived for, cover them in lies.

It`s so bittersweet now, sitting here staring into your eyes;
Because I know I`m just one of the many oblivious teens --
Who went and fell head over heels in love with your disguise,
Deceiver of fools, you`ve been a heartbreaker since sixteen.

Luring your victims into your touch, with a sense of passion;
Captivating the mood with every line you slur out from practice,
And you dress them in pretty poetry, killing them in fashion;
But I just died in your arms tonight, and I`d kill for one more kiss.

If this is confusing, the idea behind it is that many teen guys aren`t satisfied with just one girl, so they lure many oblivious teen girls into their traps with sweet words or whatever their tricks are. And, no matter what the one boy does, you just can`t seem to let him go. I, for one, am one of the many whom have fallen for it..sparked a muse for this piece, hope you enjoyed it. :]
