Short Circuit

when I heard the song

that your inner self sings

I got it all wrong

when I guessed what it brings.

for the test of our bond

came when we reached beyond;

you thought you loved me

but you just loved to see

how you could break me

which buttons to press;

finally you would make me

fall apart, more or less.

in the end what I thought

about you was mistaken;

it felt much like a shot

worse than I've ever taken.

for I saw you as a star, I said

but you are just a spark, instead,

only light the dark night for a brief time

couldn't muster the strength to go out, commit crime,

so you work with oppressors for moments of gain

I once thought them your lessers, but they're not;

what a shame.
