I thought I had a light to guide me,

It blinded me.

I thought I had a hand to hold,
It crushed me.

I thought I had a shoulder to cry on,
It pushed me.

I thought I held a place in one beating heart,
But all it did was completely stop mine.

For my ocean, you were the lighthouse,
For my desert, you were the oasis,
For my rain, you were the shelter,
For my valley, you were the bridge.

Little did I know that,
You were nothing but a hunter and me a prey,

I wish I'd recognised that,
The one I love was nothing but a masked shell .. -AM
