Reaper of Hearts

You know nothing of who I am

You will probably never realize what I am

Who I was and why I am 

I hope you move on and forget you ever met me

Erase the pictures of me from your memory 

Pretend I am just a fragmentation 

A blur in the dreams you have 

The ones who wish to forget and never dream again

I never wanted to meet you

I never wanted to be with you

And I certainly never wanted to hurt you

It's in this life that 

no one ever gets what they really want

In fact, its usually quite the opposite

To control or to lose control it seems to be all the same 

I wish you could have seen me for the truth

Maybe you would have been able to escape

You were simply the prey

As I am the hunter

To chase, to capture, to kill

Your happiness, compassion, and ambitions

The things I lack are the things I take

It's nothing personal 

It’s merely a void that needs to be filled

As deception is all I have ever known

You were just a little too trusting

Too vulnerable and hopeful

For you to think my love could ever be real

To think I had some desire in my heart 

Has no one ever taught you?

Did you not live and learn?

You've never been broken

Maybe I did you a favor

Taught you what it is to trust someone you should not

Gave you the pain necessary to feel what is true

Brought you to the reality that dreams aren't always real

Or maybe gave you something to hold on to

I am the Reaper of Hearts
