Man Eater’s Mistake

She didn't care if she hurt the dear boy,
To her, he was just another toy.
A toy that will do her every will,
But all she needed was a sanity-pill.
The boy had been her perfect slave,
It was only a matter of time before he’d cave.

He bought her food,
She was just so crude.
He bought her candy,
She didn’t even remember he was Andy.
He wrote her a love song,
She said it was just too long.

The boy couldn’t take any more,
She was just rotten to the core.
He called her that night,
All it started was a giant fight.
He told her that he was leaving,
She spent the rest of her days grieving.
