The Madmans's Beloved

The Madman's Beloved

I am the Madman's Beloved,

He keeps a keen eye on me at all times

Wishing that his world would become mine

He's not sexy yet he's somewhat handsome

A deep intellectual especially adept at verbal venom

Sometimes, I just try to ignore him

He somehow keeps watch over me

Years ago I thought that he was over me

But he only pretended to be

I don't even know why I'm his beloved

There's no trust or anything more than brotherly love

You know, the one that's extended to every human being

For simply being a human being

Yet he's fixated on the subject of me

And no, this isn't a moment of conceit or vanity

I'm just exposing, to the world, the depths of my calamity

In hopes it'll prevent tragedy

Sometimes I feel him stalking me

Yes, it feels like somebody's watching me

And my heart tells me that it's he

He promises to disappear

Only to reappear in a few days or weeks

And sometimes, I get weak

Disillusioned by his faux charm

Seduced with words so sweet

I start to think; maybe I should give him a chance

Maybe he's not a madman, maybe I just misunderstand

But that thought for long, doesn't last

So quickly he reverts back

He tries using intimidation as a means of persuasion

But, it's hard to intimidate someone that's not listening to what you're saying

He intentionally tries to break me down, I feel like I'm cursed

His evil, vicious words have ceased to hurt

I don't even take to his mind games the same

He's a Madman, that'll never change

Somebody told me to watch myself

Before I find life itself ebbing away at his hands

How could that ever be so? He's just one man

Who has become so intellectual, he borders on sheer insanity

And somehow I've managed to be his beloved

Because he acts like he only has eyes for me…

I am the Madman's beloved

Hear my plea…….
