The wanderer

I seek to find

What I already know to be true

A picture of me

And a portrait of you

I searched high and low

I searched all this time

A reflection of me

was already mine

A heart full of love

Just wanting the same

You never were real

You only played games

I searched far and deep

I almost got lost

Trying to prove

That I’m worth the cost

My intentions were pure

But you didn’t care

You already knew

Didn’t want me aware

I just wanted peace

You insisted on war

Gave you plenty of chances

You took this too far

I distanced myself

To move on with my life

You lied and tried

To cause me more strife

Take the high road they said

Take the high road I did

Ten times too many

While you ran and you hid

Can’t run from the truth

Can’t change a lie

Can’t fool the feds

With that dumb disguise

Wearing a mask

Your favorite trick

You ain’t fooling no one

They all know your sick

Sick in the head

Yeah mentally ill

I didn’t deserve

To be laughed at for thrills

I’m not a joke

And I’m not the liar

You know what they say

“Where there’s smoke, there is fire”

You wanted me dead

You wanted to hunt me

Now your the prey

Isn’t that haunting?

I know it is

You can’t sleep at night

And when you do

You see my eyes

Staring at you

Haunting your dreams

How does that feel

To wake up to screams?

Can anyone hear you?

Does anyone care?

Is that my voice?

Why are you scared?

This is your fault

They’re coming for you

You kept coming for me

Leaving them clues

A beautiful soul

Still full of light

You fought me and lost

Yeah, I won that fight

Game over, you lost

You’re going away

Can’t run and can’t hide

It’s your time to pay

    This sounds like a rough experience. You really went through it. It's tough when someone plays games and lies. Glad you're moving on and they'll face the consequences.
