Never Meant To Be
Colliding through social circles, thrown together, combining
A commotion of emotions, now entwining, forever binding
Almost kin to craving, more than yearning, more than hunger
Scared to close her eyes so she won't miss him any longer
Lurking in the shadows, undercover in the gloom
Jaundiced eyes make an entrance, then never leave the room.
There never was another who could sleep beneath her skin
Narrowing his eyes and mind, she was never let back in
Her body lay a damaged heap beneath the barriers he built
She pleaded as he teased and played, plagued by her own guilt
Tantalized her hopes and dreams, what could and might've been
Made her feel like the persecutor, but wouldn't set her free
Suggestively, he seduced then made excuse after excuse
A hallowed day, the day she woke and declined any more abuse
He's a stranger of no use, a squatter in her sentiment
Every picture, song, a constant reminder this was never meant
Never meant to be
