You are My Enemy


You are the enemy of love and light

You are the enemy of trust

You take the form of all you hate

You take advantage of lust.

I am hurting in ways I can't tell

I am afraid of your touch

I don't know if this will ever end

I don't know if too much is too much.

You tell me that I am the one for you

You tell me you need me to last

You never let me leave your side

You never let go of your past.

I fall in your gold-flaked tales of love

I fail to see through the lies

I want you to be happy as much as I can

But I'm not responsible for you.
