The Love Assassin<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am an assassin of the heart.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve done it again. Not so smart.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Blood on my hands tell the tale.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I try to stop—– to no avail.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My life has been one slaughter after another.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I rip and tear their hearts asunder.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaving nothing, but a bleeding heart.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the fact it is tearing me apart.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My intentions are always good.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am acting like I should.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, suddenly, there is a change.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I become the assassin of pain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When things seem to be working out.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I sabotage it, without a doubt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems I have a fear of success.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet, that’s what I want, I confess.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My life has been one slaughter after another.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I rip and tear hearts asunder.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaving nothing, but a bleeding heart.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the fact it’s tearing me apart.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Will I always be an assassin?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It certainly is not my passion.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet, I can’t seem to help myself.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am crying.—– I need help.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
