i called him
a white knight,
this golden god
with a tongue full of lies
masquerading as promises
he was more
pretty parasite
than beautiful beast,
more monster
than magical being
he had eyes made of smoke and mirrors,
and a kiss that tasted like truth
he dressed in shades of night,
all obsidian and opal skies
but lurking beneath
was a devouring dark,
the kind that swallows up
silver star hearts
like mine
and i was fooled
every single time
(but never again)
