Dispensable (Just A Pawn In Your Twisted Games)

I slipped into the routine

Doing everything you said

Without question

Because I worshipped you

And you knew it

 

The grime under my nails

Was thick and black

But still you had me

Wrapped round your little finger

Doing all the dirty work

 

And I loved you enough

To believe there was good in you

Somewhere

To believe you had only

Noble motives

 

While they tried to warn me

Of your hungry eyes

And tainted smiles

You turned me against

Their ‘interfering lies’

 

 

Now I’m watching your back

As you walk away

Leaving me in the debris

 

Leaving me with the certainty

That I was always

Dispensable

 

(Just a pawn in your twisted games)

Sad and very familiar to me. It's very gritty and real and I dig it. If only we'd have listened, but then again what would we write about? ha good stuff!
