Love is a demon, created to kill

It swallowed my happiness, devoured my will

It left me a shell of dark and despair

Love should have saved me, but it’s never been there

Lies and deception have been all I know

Used and abused, now I’m sinking so low



My friends think they know me, but I don’t let them see

For they would be stunned if they knew the real me

For I cry all alone in my room late at night

The torment I feel, with no end in my sight

But by daylight I'm happy go lucky and strong

Thats not who I am, they've got it all wrong



At times I have felt, like I can’t take much more

But my family still need me, so I can’t pass that door

But the years soon will pass and my children will go

Leaving me at last to dwell on my woe

And who knows in time what dark path I may take

To stop all the hurt and the pain and heartache?



All the songs that I hear tell of love and of joy

Fairytale endings of girl who meets boy

But good things like that just don’t happen to me

The darkness enfolds me, I’ll never be free

I long to cast off all the hurt and mistrust

My heart full of love not just ashes and dust



But the barriers around me, I’ve built them too high

No man will scale them, no man wants to try.

For now I’m protected against further pain

Defensive, aggressive not trusting again

And men clearly see that I’m not one to give

So move on to others who are able to live





I just wish that one day my fears are all shattered

By a man, just like me, all tortured and battered

A kindred spirit as betrayed as me

A Dark Prince, in pain, to set my soul free

And maybe he’d see the deep pit that I’m in

And save me from the emptiness I feel within



A Dark Prince to save me, as I would save him

From the torture of existence, the Hell we live in

To care for each other, be honest and true

To heal each one’s wounds, to make whole and make new

To bring joy and comfort , to keep safe at night

And to finally shatter the darkness with light
